anyone would think that if a kid goes to a faith school that he leaves his brains at the door, if you read steves judgment !. this school apparently has a very good record academically, so supporting it is hardly wasted money. if this were in the uk ,the critics would say it was because of selection of students from well favoured backgrounds. not a charge that seems to apply here , it seems. every school has some sort of worldview. when Gove was min of education, I seem to remember he made it illegal to question a certain dogma. the kids apparently can leave their brains behind sometimes, rather than be able to decide themselves between competing explanations.
