Notwithstanding the appalling decision to use an ex head of counter terrorism to investigate school curriculum and the inference that gave, it is about time religious organisations were barred from running state schools.

School should be secular, about all round education and an emphasis on English, maths and the sciences. Be inventive with geography, make history interesting, teach children how to look after themselves health wise, rather than the spoon fed junk food early death they may end up with.

But keep superstition extra curricular. It is too much to ask that children are kept away from religion till they are old enough to judge whether they want to be involved or not, and it will be some years before religion is accepted as destructive to young minds. We are still steeped in medieval superstition. Sad but true. Politicians are taught that there are votes in sucking up to god botherers so I am not holding my breath.



Looking at Keith's last post, professing faith seems to make you forgetful too. It is not a smear to repeat your posts back at you. Your fellow sympathiser of Israeli militants Poo Bad has just posted on here, so I don't expect the thread to get much better. Especially considering the ignorant stance it was formed upon when Brian May thought that if you weren't a Daily M*il type nutter, that you would somehow support the right of religious types to overtake schools.
