WJ,
​
I am against faith schools in any form. The state should protect peoples rights to practice their religion, but not support it. Britain has become a (partly) racial & culturally ghettoised nation, & faith schools will only serve to exacerbate & perpetuate the situation. Many are already seeing multiculturalism in Britain as a failed experiment. I don't think it will be as bad as Northern Ireland, where faith schools were crucial in perpetuating the sectarian divide, but even a fraction of that nonsense is far, far too much.
​
Moreover, I would like to say religion is a personal choice, but it isn't. These schools just make it easier for parents to remove choice from their children & foist their own beliefs on their kids. At least in a secular school the children would be exposed to more religions, & heaven forfend, agnosticism & atheism.

Re: It's about protecting children
& Should parents be allowed to effectively sign the death penalty on their children by refusing blood products?
​
Not that the hospitals allow this, but that's what the parents are prepared to demand.

Re: people of faith are good to deal with
redeal,

Keep the preaching for the church, mate. It impresses no-one here.
