Local school faces backlash over a ‘Darkest Day’ display on a noticeboard.

An "abhorrent disregard for the wider school community"

That's how an open letter from former pupils of a County Antrim school describes the appearance of a so-called "Darkest Day" display on a school noticeboard.

A blacked out noticeboard with the hashtag #DarkestDay iappeared on the Instagram account of the Christian Union at Dalriada School.

This followed the decriminalisation of abortion and legalisation of same sex marriage in Northern Ireland earlier this week.

But is this anything more than pupils exercising their right to a political opinion or is it "creating an atmosphere of shame"

Stephen spoke with Peter Lynas from the Evangelical Alliance and the journalist Amanda Ferguson

Also on the programme, former Dep. Director of the National Crime Agency talks about the impact of people smuggling in UK.
