Humanists launch petition against schools choosing pupils on the basis of religion
from Religion Media Centre:
Humanists UK has launched a petition calling on the government to remove the ability of state schools in England to choose their pupils on the basis of religion. It says the aim is to end “these discriminatory admissions processes” among faith schools which make up one third of all school places. Education campaigns manager Robert Cann said: “Six out of ten parents of today’s school aged children belong to no religion, yet in some areas, non-religious families find it practically impossible to get into a local school without lying about their own religious observance”.
