    Your occultists, rapists and very poor imams should rather be arrested for using the evil quran to send jinns or demons to kill and make people mad.

    If what the girls were doing is against the code of conduct of the school then the authorities have every right to take any action against the girls

    You must remember that this deeper knowledge seeking was turned down by church fathers two thousand years ago. I urge parents of these young naive students to hold teachers of this institution to task. Children should go to s ...

    The constitution of Ghana comes first before the rules of any school and so where there is conflict, the rules of the school should be jettisoned. Nothing would be so depressing as being denied the right to express our faith. ...

  • Tuuluu 10 years ago

    Mr. lawyer if it is wrong then go and establish your school for them to practice that religion there because the school in which they are, is for a church which doesn't practice that religion.

  • ihateidiots 10 years ago

    thank you Tuuluu. if the students knew they could not become 'methodists' while they were in the four walls of the school, they should not have signed the undertaking to become students. It is a methodist school. No one force ...

    Kofi Diaba, you've gotten it all wrong. You have to weigh the child's capabilities before allowing her/him to take decision of such nature.

    THEN THIS LAWYER IS GOOD AS SAYING KWAKU BONSAM IS ALRIGHT TO SET UP SHRINES IN OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS.

  • Ronda 10 years ago

    Actually, constitutionally, Kwaku Bonsam has all the right to open shrine schools. How many 'so called pastors' are equally building 'shrine schools' they dub under another name? Ghana, the land of hypocrisies.
