Canada mother calls for ban of indigenous ceremonies in schools

10. This is a tough one. If Christian and other religious prayer is banned,

then so should indigenous rites.

The case has been championed by Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. “You can’t have a double standard,” John Carpay of the organisation told the National Post. “Either you allow religion in school and open the gates wide – and then you allow the Our Father prayer of Christians, roll out the prayer rugs and pray towards Mecca, and conduct an aboriginal spiritual smudging ceremony – or the door is closed and it is closed for everybody.”
