Bizarrely, in the UK there is a law which mandates daily religious worship in all state-maintained schools: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130401151655/htt... "Since the 1944 Education Act, re-enacted in all subsequent Education Acts, there has been a statutory requirement that all maintained schools must provide a daily act of collective worship for all registered pupils, unless they have been withdrawn by their parents. The Education Act 1988 removed the requirement for this to take place at the start of the school day. Collective Worship can now take place any time of the school day." In practice, the law is widely ignored. |
