We must let our MPs know that, as extensions of faith communities and the places to which many parents entrust their children’s education, our schools have a right to uphold the very reason for their existence. From the government allowing the business world to set its own course to your babysitter who let you do whatever you wanted if something is laissez faire, it's 'hands off.' Laissez faire, typically pronounced 'LAY-zay fair,' was originally a French economic term meaning allow to do, as in: the government does not interfere in the marketplace. Most people would agree: it’s plain common-sense for a faith-based school to have the right to employ people who share its beliefs.Ĭan anyone imagine MPs being forced to employ those who disagree with their policies? Strangely enough, no. While we endure a seemingly endless wait for federal protections for faith (which may not even help at a state level) it’s crucial we act now to prevent further stripping away of our freedoms. But when Victoria has been dealing with lockdowns and restrictions, this new priority reflects terribly on the Government.Īpparently oblivious to this, the Government has made the ridiculous claim that the new laws “will strike the right balance”.īut they don’t – not for churches and their schools, neither for parents, nor for their children. One of the most influential ideas of the Gilded. This move would be shocking at the best of times. Organizations such as companies that run under laissez-faire leadership are characterized by a hands-off approach, where the leaders trust their employees. Laissez-faire ideology influenced government policies toward labor relations and Reconstruction. It has often seemed like a political circus ever since sixteen Republican public officials and one celebrity billionaire took the stage last August in Cleveland. It begs the question – especially following the Andrews Government’s so-called “conversion therapy” laws – of whether this is ultimately aimed at dictating to faith schools what they can no longer teach. Hands on or Hands off: Candidates on Ideal Role of Government by Spencer Woody NovemThe 2016 Presidential Election has been anything but boring. More than yet another attack on freedom of religion and belief, it’s also an attack on freedom of association and the right of parents to have their children educated according to their family’s beliefs.
In other words, they want to massively impact on a school’s ability to employ teachers who align with the teachings and ethos of that school’s faith.
The Andrews Government is set to attack the foundations of faith-based schools & the rights of parents who choose them.Īttorney-General Jaclyn Symes has declared a move against “unfair, hurtful” laws that permit faith-based schools the right to “discriminate” in employment on the basis of sexuality and “gender identity”. Hands-off government according to opinion polls.
