Schools Ethics Classes

Well here in NSW, there has been a "stoush" by religious types, such as Fred Nile, a Christian Parliamentarian, over having Ethics Classes when religious classes are on, to cater for those kids that don't go to religious classes.
This all started when the old Labor government introduced a trial of ethics classes.
Well this sent the god botherers into a frenzy and they wanted the ethics classes to stop.
The new Conservative government decided to hold a Parliamentary Inquiry into ethics classes.
Well I thought, well here the ethics classes will now stop.
But, no, the inquiry has ruled in favour of the classes.

A win for rationality. :happyhour:
