Rowan williams warns of downgrading of religious education.

[Nine]

So why does my son, who is 16 and still at school, not do it?

My daughter was also forced to take it and she's 16.
Also, Rowan Williams has ridiculous eyebrows.

My eldest son is taking it as a compulsary subject and my middle son was told two weeks ago that it is one of the subjects he has to do next year.

It depends where the school is different counties and schools have different policies on it. When I was in school I took RS GCSE and still had to do the extra lessons of RE because the policy was all students have to do RE.. Even the ones doing RS...

Also sometimes they put it under another name or mix it with a subject in like 'Personal learning' 'Citizenship' or whatever other misleading name they give it.
