Bolivia Attempting to Replace Catholic Education with Languange in Public Schools

Filed under: Culture — shelray @ 9:41 am

The Bolivian President wants to put an end to Catholicism in the schools and as the country’s official religion.

“Instead of religion, they’ll do languages,” “Religion is a question of faith, and faith can’t be taught, much less in an obligatory manner.”

The leftist government, in its efforts to rid Bolivia of the vestiges of a colonial past that discriminated against the Indian majority, is also pushing a constitutional reform that would remove Catholicism as the country’s official religion.

Catholicism has been the country’s official religion since Bolivia’s founding in 1825.
