Description: A man of deliberately indeterminate occupation - is he a teacher or a clergyman? - quotes 'Suffer little children if they don't come unto us' from a book titled 'Religion in state schools'. Behind him a child with a dunce's cap is writing out the lines 'Thou shall not question'. In 2012 there was continuing debate about the role of religious education in state schools, especially in Auckland where a number of primary schools dropped the voluntary 'Bible in Schools' programme.
