Equally in the UK, the non-enforcement of secular neutrality in school governance can lead to debacles where schools actively promote a single faith to the exclusion of the vast majority of children who have not been indoctrinated.
Faith schools are actively supported by our government which is a blight on our education system. But not not that, the UK has now implemented a policy whereby anyone can set up a school with whatever agenda (business, religion etc), gain government funding, and not be accountable to local government education boards or national education policies aside the national curriculum.
It's a shocking state of affairs, and already there are reports of schools being run/hijacked by cartels of religious extremists, as has happened with many local schools in the area where I live in Birmingham.
