| Message | Why should parents not be able to educate their children at home or send their children to a faith school? Why must everybody be forced to accept the mediocrity of atheist uniformity? Leonard Brownlow (Secretary of the League of Christian Socialists) |

| Message | mediocrity!!! This is proposed to help children from our nation get ahead of those from others. faith schools and home schooling could teach that killing somebody for picking up sticks on a sunday is morally correct that rape and murder are ok if done in the name of faith and ideology, because children under the age of 7 are genetically conditioned to believe anything that adults say. This could include that a giant apple that speaks french lives in the sky and rains jam. Before a childrens critical faculties emerge they should be protected from such nonsense. |

| Message | No real Christian school, and almost no faith school of any religion, would teach children to murder those with different spiritual outlooks or to rape people. The Secularists are scaremongering. In any case, I point out that the current legislation ensures that faith schools are subject to some regulations anyway, which ensure they carry on in a responsible manner. Leonard Brownlow (Secretary of the League of Christian Socialists) |
