초록

본 연구는 강 의석 사건에 대한 대법원 판결이 있은 후 고조된 기독교 학교 종교교육에 대한 반대 의견을 비판적으로 고찰한 글이다. 일반적으로 기독교 학교에 의한 학생들의 신앙 자유의 침해를 기독교 학교의 종교정책 탓으로 돌린다. 그러나 이 문제의 1차적 원인은 기독교 학교가 아니라 고교평준화 정책의 실행이다. 필자는 본 연구를 통해 강 의석만 피해자만 아니라 기독교 학교도 피해자라는 사실은 지적하고자 한다.

영어초록

The objective of this article is to study the opposing opinion against the religious education of Mission school in high school level, which became more diffused especially after the decision of the Supreme Court on Eui-seok Kang in 2010. People in the opposition side usually handle the mission school as an offender. However, the reason for the mission school’s religious education to non-Christian students is due to the ‘standardization’ policy of Korean government which enforces the compulsive allotment of students to the school they do not want to enter. The mission school has no choice to select its students and students also have no right to choose their schools. Since the Christian private school has it own goal for which it was founded and exists, that is, religious mission, it has to practice religious education. Because of the standardization policy, it cannot help exercising the education to students with no interest in the religion and thus unavoidably violating their right, which makes the school an offender. This study considers the government’s policy as a primary cause for the religious conflict between the school and its students. The policy is also an offender to the private school law of Korea which allows and protects the private school to keep and practice its faith in the founding goal. This study requests the change of recognition: not only Mr. Eui-seok Kang and his colleague students but the mission school are victims.
