Why all religions were not created equal
“I don’t think we should have faith schools unless they are Church of England or Catholic” I said.
“Well, you can’t do that. If you are going to allow Christian schools you have to permit other religions to have theirs” came the response.
Who says?
Such immediate domestic dillution and level playing fieldism can never be in a nation’s interest. It invites the idea that cultural identity doesn’t exist or deserves to be shelved.
I would doubt very much that anything slightly Bible based taught in a Church of England school could ever be in any way contentious. It’s more likely to either not exist at all, bar maybe the odd visiting vicar for a special assembly, or play out only in little ditties such as ‘Give Me Oil In My Lamp’. The remaining moral teaching will no doubt be laced with the saccharine DEI-themed PSE that if anything tends to veer further and further away from our state religion.
