Religion in British schools sparks court of appeals ruling
London reports a court of appeals decision reshapes religious education funding in England. The 1902 act forced local authorities to fund religious instruction in voluntary schools, triggering passive resistance over rates. The Yorkshire West Riding council refused to pay teachers for religious instruction, and the board of education sought court desistance, a ruling now up for Lords review with broad implications for resisters and potential false imprisonment claims.
