The Golden Hook - The Right to Believe and Have Faith

In St. John's Harbour, Aatma the cod is banished from his school for wearing a golden hook. This accessory holds significant symbolic value to followers of Newfinism, Aatma's religion. For the other fish in the harbour, hooks are a symbol of danger. Should Aatma be able to wear his hook to school? This story seeks to teach children about the freedom of religion, which is guaranteed by section 2(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
