• W2591737984 abstract "I. IntroductionThis Article posits that religious freedom is a foundational right and principle that was instrumental in creating modern liberal democratic state. The historical, practical, and philosophical realities of liberal democracies justify maintaining religion's special treatment in canadian law. In fact, respect for religious freedom as it accommodates religious practice is necessary for practical implementation of liberal democratic theory. Religious freedom is a prototypical right that helped forge path for legal recognition of other rights such as freedom of assembly,1 and freedom of speech. Indeed, as noted by James Q. Whitman, the history of common law is inextricably bound up with general Western history of Christianity.2 Whitman's account of legal right to a fair trial beyond a reasonable doubt is but one example. It was christian moral theology that: A judge who sentenced an accused person to a blood punishment while experiencing 'doubt' about guilt committed a mortal sin, and thus put his own salvation in peril, that underlay concept of reasonable doubt.3 However, there is a significant group of academics and practitioners in legal profession that is challenging role and respect that law has traditionally given to religious freedom in Canadian society. This opposition is becoming more pronounced in cases that arise from clash of religious freedom with sexual equality rights.This phenomenon is likened to a revolution. Revolutions have existed throughout history in various forms and areas of human existence. The theory of scientific revolutions is used to analyze current legal revolution against place of religious freedom in society. The Article also contrasts legal revolutions from scientific revolutions in its goals, methodology, and perspectives. These differences are based in varying values and desired outcomes of each profession. The present legal revolution to strip religion of its favored legal status puts liberal democracy in a precarious position.There is a need among legal practitioners, academics, and judiciary alike for a deeper appreciation of religion and how its protection stabilizes democracies and keeps in check state's tendency to demand ultimate allegiance at expense of individual conscience. Through exploring Trinity Western University's (TWU) law school proposal and opposition to it by legal profession, this Article seeks to demonstrate practical application of its contention that opposition to religion's legal protection is revolutionary and, if successful, foreshadows a denial of democratic values and principles. instead of an expansion of human rights, this opposition to religious freedom leads to a degradation of those rights, both institutionally and individually.TWU is a private Christian university located in Langley, British Columbia (BC). To understand TWU's law school case you must first know that in 2001 Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) ordered BC College of Teachers (BCCT) to accredit TWU's education degree.4 The BCCT had denied accreditation because of TWU's requirement that its students sign a Community Standards document that outlined school's behavioral expectations of students.5 Among those was requirement that they not engage in activity outside of its religious sexual norms. The BCCT felt that TWU graduates who became public school teachers would discriminate against homosexual students.6 The SCC recognized that BC human rights legislation and Charter did not apply to TWU.7 It held that there was no evidence for BCCT's claim8 and allowed mandamus order for accreditation of TWU's education degree.9in 2012, TWU proposed a law school and sought accreditation at Federation of Law Societies of Canada.10 That submission created a huge controversy in legal profession because TWU continued to require students to sign a Community Covenant that stated, in part, [i]n keeping with biblical and TWU ideals, community members voluntarily abstain from . …" @default.
