THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL ON THE TEACHING OF RELIGION IN A STATE SCHOOL (SELECTED PROBLEMS)
Journal Title: Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego - Year 2012, Vol 15, Issue 15
Abstract
The paper looks into the case-law of the Constitutional Tribunal concerning the teaching of religion in Polish state schools. The teaching of religion in a state school has long been attracting attention as a major issue in the relations between the state, churches and other religious organizations. Most of these are resolved by the Constitutional Tribunal, which, however, in the author's view, often advances theses that are debatable, inadequately justified and at times controversial. To support his assertion, the author highlights a decision of 2 December 2009 (file ref. U 10/07) in which the tribunal examined the constitutionality of including the grade in religion in the calculation of the overall pupil's performance. In the author's opinion, in acknowledging the constitutionality of such action, the tribunal assumed a misguided identification of the examined problem.
