An atheist teacher who claimed he was fired for refusing to pray at school events has failed in his latest legal bid.
Christopher Scott Roy, a former head of the art department at Auckland’s Tamaki College, took the school to the Employment Court.
This was over a claim he was constructively dismissed because he is an atheist.
His dispute with Tamaki College related to several incidents, including his refusal to attend powhiri because they were “Christian-based events”.
