The new guy.

What I find most disturbing, is the local councils ability to license schools to spoon feed it to children. That's right, I'm talking about religious themed assemblies. Its true that you may choose to exclude your children from participation, but in my area that would be SOLITARY EXCLUSION - as there are no other parents who have yet chosen to do so. These schools are also supposed to be non-religious ones, and yet still this unproductive system remains in hundreds of schools across the UK.

Been there. The school before my high school had religious assemblies. We had to sing religious songs every morning. The teachers hated it when I refused to sing along. Many of us would refuse, later on during the day we'd mock them for trying to force us to believe something we don't. This being England, you'd think religion would of died out in schools. The churches aren't having any visitors anymore, maybe that's why religion in school is still going. They are worried with falling numbers of followers. Cobwebs are starting to building up in churches.

Thankfully high school had no religion in it at all. We were finally able to forget about religion completely and focus on more realistic things.
My town happens to be quite secular, many are atheists. Religion grows weaker each day.

Anyway, welcome!
