Protect Queensland Christian Schools

Stop radical changes that will impact parents and families across Queensland!

The Queensland Human Rights Commission is proposing radical changes to the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 based on an ideological view of how religious education should work.

The effect of these changes would be that Courts and Tribunals could interfere with Christian schools appointing staff based on their faith.

We can stop these radical proposals, but only if we act now.

Spread the Word!

Many people simply don't know about these changes or what they mean for Christian schools and churches. Tell your friends and family about the proposals and make sure that your church leaders are aware as well.

I am writing to express my concerns about the proposals by the Queensland Law Reform Commission that directly impact families wanting to send their children to a Christian school across the State.

The Commission recommends further unjustified restrictions, recommendation 39, on the ability of Christian and other faith-based schools to employ staff that share the beliefs of the school.

The current test, in section 25 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 already imposes a high bar for schools wanting to employ staff who shares their beliefs.  If anything, the Government should make it clearer that Christian schools can employ staff who must share the school’s beliefs across all positions in the school.  This is an essential element in the school providing an authentic Christian education.

The rapid growth of Christian schools across Queensland shows the importance that many parents place on being able to choose a school that reflects their beliefs.  These proposals would profoundly impact the ability of parents to exercise that choice.

The radical approaches proposed by the Human Rights Commission have no place here in Queensland, and I’m asking all parliamentarians to reject these proposals.

Yours sincerely,
