I have seen anti-Christian discrimination, an organisation here in Australia claims Christian schools have expelled students for being homosexual. And they say we fire homosexual staff. The latter I heard of in one case in WA.In my schooling across five high schools, there were homosexual students, doing okay. Some were bullies. They were only rebuked if they applied the hand to another student, same rule for all students.One of my teachers was homosexual, and died of AIDS. The clergy employed him and asked us not to judge him when he died.But some organisations are trying to force Christian and other religious schools to choose staff without any discrimination. It is no good. I found atheist teachers were a bit unkind and I liked the atmosphere of faith and the Gospel is good. Christian teachers could discipline, but the ethos and respect was esteeming.So I see it is fake news that all religious schools discriminate. We do well the way we are. Some discrimination is needed.https://www.acl.org.au/acl_calls_for_senate_to_save_religious_schools_freedom

Some discrimination is needed.https://www.acl.org.au/acl_calls_for_senate_to_save_religious_schools_freedomThe discrimination rules are written into the NSW law. You can't honestly claim it's "Fake News".You also miss the point.It's fair to assume that you are correct, and that at least some faith schools do a good job (Though I wonder what they teach about evolution).You seem to have set up a straw man when you said "I see it is fake news that all religious schools discriminate". Even if only a tiny minority of schools discriminate we should stop them.Nothing can excuse the schools which discriminate on the grounds of religious bigotry. That should be stopped.You say "Some discrimination is needed."Why?Why do "we need" to discriminate against gay kids + teachers?https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/11/the-right-to-expel-children-from-school-isnt-about-freedom-its-about-cruelty
Please explain why it is "justice" to have a rule that says "you can throw gay kids out of school- without any other reason apart from their sexuality- but you can't throw straight kids out of school for no reason."Because that's what the law actually allows.It's go nothing to do with punishment for bullying.

It is not just, and not done.
