The Presbyterian Board has sparked a debate by limiting religious observances in its schools to Christian celebrations. While the board’s policy aims to protect its religious identity by restricting non-Christian observances to educational purposes, critics argue that this approach should not encroach on regular school hours. The board’s stance, which emphasizes preventing the erosion of its religious beliefs and practices, has been met with mixed reactions. Iqubal Hydal, a concerned citizen, suggests that Presbyterian schools should remain open on non-Christian religious holidays, such as Divali, to educate students about diverse faiths. This, Hydal argues, would place the board on higher moral ground by fostering inclusivity and understanding. The discussion highlights the delicate balance between preserving institutional religious identity and promoting interfaith education in a multicultural society.
