Message | We are generally opposed to any religious involvement in education. We are tempted to say that recognised religions are better than the "any" option because of our concerns about extremist cults, but we are also very concerned about removing the current regulation of religious schools. If we are not careful we will have schools teach creationism rather than Darwinism! On balance, we vote "No". |
Date | 00:36:48, October 28, 2005 CET | From | Fenner Brockway Socialist Party | To | Debating the Religious Schools Act |
Message | As we said before, it is dangerous for the state to get into the business of approving religions. |
