Return of 100% Faith Schools in the UK
#4
RE: Return of 100% Faith Schools in the UK
Faith schools are an abomination in our public school system, espoused because of the generally good results that students get often to the detriment of other local schools which aren't allowed to discriminate.

Anyone with even an ounce of logic can see the ghettoisation in our cities is only worsened by segregating off entire communities based on a nebulous concept of 'faith' that almost every child at the age of beginning school has had no say in espousing or exploring in any meaningful way without their parents telling them it's the truth.

What's worse is the continual lack of effort directed towards tackling illegal faith schools which operate outside of the law within every city in the UK, many of which espouse a radicalised version of the religion they fall under. The British Humanist association has been fighting against these illegal schools for years now, and thankfully have met with some success with the LGA announcing they are At least aware of the problem:

But yes, the issue of faith schools will not go away any time soon now. It will most likely only get worse.
