Hareide: – Historieløst to say no to skolegudstjenester – NRK

– I’m very disappointed. Paradoxically, it was the church who stood for the first skoleundervisningen in Norway.

Hareide believes principals have a verdikamp on behalf of the students and parents when the principals at all the schools in Voss has decided that no students get to go on julegudstjenester with the school from the year.

– Julegudstjenesten has been an institution, but it has been voluntary and there have been allowed to say no. To say no take the principals an active values and determines what culture we take with us in the future, ” says Hareide to NRK.

– the Principals known

In a post on his Facebook page calling Hareide refusal historieløst and writes that the principals at the Voss-schools “known for Humanetisk federation”.

the Human-Ethical Union went on Tuesday with full support to the principals after the case created strong reactions in social media.

Hareide reject that this measure is an attack.

It was an answer to their views on the matter. There is no doubt that they have an agenda. They want to have religion away from the school. Although today we live in a more diverse, colorful and more beautiful society than ever, that does not mean that we must put away the traditions and the røske up our cultural roots.

Concerned society

Partilederen from the KrF is concerned about developments in the Norwegian public debate. Hareide turns to the debate in Østfold, where a principal is urged to drop the term “julelunsj” .

– instead of standing up for the Norwegian cultural heritage being afraid to hurt or disappoint others. I’m afraid that this type of debates gives an impression that Norway is on the way away from our good values.

HIGHLY REGRETTABLE: the Bishop of Bjørgvin diocese Halvor Nordhaug fear the opinions of students and parents are not heard.

Bishop in Bjørgvin diocese Halvor Nordhaug calls the situation highly regrettable.

I think there is sad that in Voss choose to discontinue a scheme which I think means a lot for students and parents.

the Bishop realize that not all parents appreciate skolegudstjenestene, but have the impression that the scheme has broad support in the county.

Will not “draw the line” of the story

Hareide says the christian democratic party has yet to make something in this specific question.

– This should best be resolved by those involved in the local community. But we are concerned that the regulations do not make it too cumbersome to participate in skolegudstjenester.

But partilederen will be on guard for that this case sets a precedent.

If there is a trend that schools are taking distance from the skolegudstjenester in the church, we will consider taking the initiative to consider this matter.

Skolepolitisk advocate in His Anders Tyvand believe culture Linda Hofstad Helleland (H), which has responsibility for the church, we need to get on track and clarify what kind of relationship the Uk should have to its christian history.

I wish kulturministeren said that we are a multicultural society with religious freedom, but that she did not want to put a streak of our own history, culture and identity, so I feel that we are doing when we say no to skolegudstjenester, ” says Tyvand, who believes “avkristning” of christmas carols is among other worrying signs.
