It’s called tyranny by the minority.
The nihilist move to disrupt, de-construct and dismantle traditional society is the key aim of Left, with its (epic fail) multiculturalism becoming the dominant force. I say push back.
“It’s curious that the minority can so strongly influence the activities of the majority. Laws concerning religious freedom work both ways: in addition to having the right not practice religion, we also have the right to practice religion in Finland, where the majority of people belong to the Lutheran church.”
Summer hymn singing in schools may be forbidden
As the traditional Finnish “suvivirsi” (“Summer Hymn”) has religious overtones, the National Board of Education has been asked to consider whether it runs counter to guidelines for religious freedom, equality and neutrality.
The National Board of Education is reconsidering whether the suvivirsi, or summer hymn, can be sung at end of school ceremonies in Finland.
Deputy Chancellor of Justice Mikko Puumalainen has called on the Board of Education to look into the matter as the song has religious overtones, and runs counter to the guidelines for religious freedom, equality and neutrality in Finland.
The Board says that it will act on the recommendation to look into the matter but points out that it also has the right to practice religion.
Says Education Chancellor Pekka Iivonen: “It’s curious that the minority can so strongly influence the activities of the majority. Laws concerning religious freedom work both ways: in addition to having the right not practice religion, we also have the right to practice religion in Finland, where the majority of people belong to the Lutheran church.”
According to Iivonen, the practice by law has long been that elementary school students who do not wish to participate in religious education activities can opt out so long as they have note from their parent or guardian. Secondary school students have been able to make the decision themselves.
About three quarters of Finland’s population are registered as Evangelical Lutherans.
It’s very difficult to accommodate the notion that there actually exist people who would ban a hymn such as Suvuvirsi in Finland’s schools.
It’s so beautiful and uplifting.
One struggles to comprehend the underlying motivation.
Do they want to extingusih all traces of Christian heritage in Finland?
But the left are engaged in an ongoing mission to destroy all traces of religion in all institutions within their ambit.
Do they hate their country so much?
