Next time another idiot can also go to court challenging single sex schools for gender discrimination
Why would such a person be an idiot? What really is the point of a single sex public school?
One fundamental principle in law that has helped Ghana to maintain peace is the criminalization of discrimination. Children from different religions backgrounds were made to live together in same neighborhoods and played toge ...

Has Wesley Girls School authorities denied any Muslim girl admission to their school?What they saying is every student shd comply to the school's rules period. No Hijab and No Fasting in the school.
Yes, they’re constructively denying Muslim, by law. They make life so difficult for Moslem students that some of us have refused to send our children their because of the discrimination even though the children are fully qu ...

I think the state must stop financial support to all faith based schools and instead, use the money to build very good state schools. Faith based schools must be for people who want to practice their religions.

The only reason some crazy things happening in Nigeria can't happen in Ghana is that, muslims are in the minority. And it will be difficult to have a muslim president in Ghana.
