Statement from Parents for Inclusive Education NI on the JR87 ruling:

Parents for Inclusive Education NI welcomes the landmark UK Supreme Court ruling in JR87, which confirms that Northern Ireland’s current RE curriculum breaches children’s and families’ human rights. The Court found that RE in it’s current form is not “objective, critical and pluralistic” and amounts to indoctrination - and identified the failings of the Department of Education to monitor and safeguard what and how children are being taught.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to JR87 and her father for bringing this case. We do not know them, but are in awe of their bravery and perseverance in taking a stand on such an epic scale. They, and all families like them who have been resoundingly let down by the current framework, have been throughly vindicated by the highest court in the land.
