Scott Morrison Promises Faith Schools Will Lose Right To Expel Gay & Trans Students
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that amendments will be made to the religious discrimination laws to take away the right of faith-based schools to discriminate against and expel LGBTQI students.
Morrison made the surprise comments on Brisbane’s B105.3 radio when he was asked about Citipointe Christian College’s now withdrawn anti-LGBTQI student enrolment contract. ““No, I don’t support that.
My kids go to a Christian school here in Sydney, and I wouldn’t want my school doing that either,” Morrison said.Morrison’s announcement is a significant back flip by his government which had been seeking to pass the Religious Discrimination Bill in Parliament.
Moderate Liberal MPs had pushed for changes to the law to bar faith-based schools from expelling LGBTQI students as a condition to support the Religious Discrimination Bill.
