Back to School: Getting involved with your child’s education
When: Saturday, October 2 at 2:00pm
Where: Mayfair Public Library (602 – 33rd Street West)
For this month’s Meetup, we’ll hear from fellow Secular Family Network member Carl von Baeyer and his involvement in helping end the recital of the Lord’s Prayer in Saskatoon’s public schools. Carl was one in a group of parents who took this issue to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission in the 1990s and eventually won their case. Before that, he had led unsuccessful attempts on behalf of the Unitarian Congregation of Saskatoon.
The title of his talk is: Getting recital of the Lord’s Prayer and Bible readings banned in Saskatoon public schools: A four-decade saga.
For additional background on Carl’s story, check out this article: The Awkward Silence.
