My issue is that religion has no place in a state funded education system. A few weeks ago a Jewish state funded school was caught opening and checking GCSE science exam papers and removing any questions that didn't fit in with the school's religious ethos. |
"religion" has a place in State funded education because "religion" was running schools long before the State realised that educating children rather than forcing them down mines or up chimneys was probably a good idea.
The State, thankfully, is still tolerant of the idea that religious morality creates, on the whole, a positive environment in which to educate children. And the State, thankfully, intervenes when extremists tamper with exam papers, as was the case at the Jewish school the other week.
