Language and Culture Restrictions and Discrimination in K-12 Private Schools: An Australian Perspective
Cumming, Joy; Mawdsley, Ralph
International Journal of Educational Reform, v22 n2 p152-166 Spr 2013
In a companion article, we considered legal issues in language and culture in private schooling in two U.S. contexts: "Silva v. St. Anne Catholic School" and "Doe v. Kamehameha Schools". In this article, we consider the facts and findings of these two cases under the human rights and antidiscrimination legal frameworks of Australia to consider whether the same or different outcomes would emerge. Australia and the United States are multicultural countries with indigenous populations and have similar legal frameworks. However, the analysis shows that a different framework for considering the rights of individuals could lead to different judicial outcomes. The discussion highlights the way that fundamental differences influence the way that societal values are reflected in education.
