47 m. ago Legal challenge against Wesley Girls High School forces Ghana Supreme Court to define boundaries of religious liberty

The lawsuit against Wesley Girls Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana is a pivotal Supreme Court case. It challenges the boundaries of religious freedom and institutional rights under Ghana's 1992 Constitution. The central legal question is whether a school, founded on Christian principles by the Methodist Church and substantially state-funded, can restrict the religious practices of its minority Muslim students. This conflict occurs in a national context where 71.3% of the population is Christian and 19.9% is Muslim, highlighting the significance of minority accommodation.
