Religious teaching to be challenged

A Melbourne law firm has begun a legal challenge against the way religion is taught in Victorian government schools.

Lawyers say if parents decide they do not want their children to participate in the classes, their children are sometimes left unsupervised.

It has been suggested that children to opt out of the classes, is discriminatory.

The claim has been lodged with the Equal Opportunity Commission against the state education department.
