Sect Schools

Any of you who think that so called 'faith schools' are only encouraging and promoting divisiveness and conflict might be interested in this online petition, which:

  • proposes the term "sect school" in place of the term "faith school"

  • calls for amendments to the Education Bill (published 28th February 2006) to prevent the further proliferation of sect schools in the UK

  • calls for an end to state-funded education which is controlled by any religious group or affiliated with any religious beliefs

More at The Brights.

Edit: You can also petition the UK government direct at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/nofaithinschools/, although this may just be a ploy to gather names and addresses so that they can send the black vans round. Paranoid, me?
