HUMANIST Society Scotland (HSS) is to seek a judicial review of a decision by the Scottish Government not to allow young people to opt out of religious observance.
The Humanist Society believes that the parental right to opt out should be extended to young people, as is currently the case in England and Wales
On Monday the HSS submitted papers to the Court of Session in order to challenge Scottish ministers over their refusal to allow young people to opt out of religious observance.
