During yesterday’s school assembly, the Headmistress of St. Catherine Catholic School, a traditional catholic school, announced that everyone was going to take part in the remembrance of the death and suffering of Christ during Easter. She called it the Way of the Cross, and attendance was compulsory. The dormitories, toilets, sickbay and classrooms would be locked so there would be no dodgers.
Farook went to the Headmistress after the assembly and told her that he is a Muslim, so he does not see why he should practice Christian things. Instead, the Headmistress threatened to either expel him or cane him until there are holes in his trousers. Is this legal?
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
According to the law, everyone has the right to practice any religion or belief they choose or not practice any religion without fear of punishment or persecution. (This is called freedom of worship).
However, this is limited in some instances, such as in school. The supreme court (the top court in Uganda) ruled that when a student joins a school, they also accept the rules and policies of that school. This means they know what the school offers in terms of education, religious beliefs and practices, and they accept to obey and follow them. The law accepts this position because the student could have chosen other schools that did not have those religious practices but chose to join that school. Therefore, when Farook joined St. Catherine, which he knew was a Catholic, it meant that he agreed to follow their rules and regulations as a student, so he has to attend the school programme or face expulsion if it is a compulsory school activity.

On 9-December-2022, UK slapped sanctions against former Police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura. 📸: Commissioner General of Prisons, Johnson Byabashaija. Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda. We ask, has USA and UK made December as an LCM to slap sanctions against high ranking government officials in Uganda even when the sanctions just remain on paper without deeper investigations to ascertain logical conclusions or remedy to that effect ?. #iip_updates #Information_is_Power #we_inform_the_uninformed
