STRASBOURG, France — The Alliance Defense Fund and Professionals for Ethics filed a lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights Friday on behalf of more than 300 parents and children challenging compulsory anti-Christian education for Spain’s public and private school students. Among those who filed suit are 105 children from both public and private schools in several Spanish regions. More than 54,000 parents registered complaints with Spain’s government and sought to have their children removed, but to no avail.
Thousands of suits have already been filed opposing the agenda of the “Education in Citizenship” classes, which promote a leftist stance on crucial social issues such as sexuality and abortion. Materials recommended through the program openly bash the Catholic Church and contain highly sexual imagery.
