Colegio sin religión

Abstract

The image contains a news article about a resolution by the National Executive Branch requiring students at the Military School to practice Catholicism, including attending Mass. The article argues that this measure represents a religious imposition in an educational setting that should be neutral, highlighting the importance of education free from religious influence and freedom of conscience. It addresses a historic decision in Colombia in 1881, where the House of Representatives approved a motion requiring students at the Military School not to be required to practice religious rituals. This change was based on the principle of religious tolerance and the need to separate religion from military educational institutions. This article was published in La Caridad on June 6, 1881.
