Art 14 “Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion”

From Rights-Centric Education

These are the proposed articles in the Pledge for Rights-Centric Education relating to Article 14 "Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion"

  1. THIS IS STILL ROUGH Recognizing that social constructs impose certain religious or philosophical views on the Child, commit to support the Child's freedom to believe in a religion of their choice, or no religion at all, regardless of the religious beliefs of the Child's parents, the denominational nature of the institution, or the dominant/official religion of the state.
  2. Where the Child’s professed religion is marginalized or stigmatized, the child should be provided with additional supports to enable them to exercise this Right.
