RESPONSE TO G MITCHELL

  • M C Dippenaar University of the North

Abstract

I fully agree with Dr Mitchell that Religious Education according to the policy of Christian National Education as something imposed on everyone else by Afrikaner nationalists (and the same tendencies which he detects in the English community), is totally unacceptable. As matter of fact, I have always had problems with the concept of Christelike Nasionalisme (Christian Nationalism) as such, criticising it as an absolutisation of Afrikaner national and cultural values, with a thin layer of ‘Christian varnish’ covering it.
