Faith schools

[meredith101]

did you go to one? do you think they are breeding grounds of prejudice and narrowmindedness?

[Theland]

No, I didn't.
Yes, they can be, depends on the religion and the individual school.

Do people think it's right to have a school, which adopts a different faith, to those originally based in England? I mean, is it right to have a seperate school for Muslims or Jews? Will this create even more seperation? Or should immigrants be made to respect British faith and attend their schools? Or should Christian kids be allowed to attend schools of a different faith?

I'm just asking cos I had a conversation with someone about this, not that long ago.

Yes I did, and no I don't. I think the experience gave me a great opportunity to learn and practice the traditional values of a civilised human society - values now patently lacking today in so many areas of our wonderful country (England).
I also enjoyed the experience greatly at the time and feel it has benefited me in so many ways throughout my life.
I only regret the times, due to my own weakness, when I've failed to live up to the principles learned at school.

[redcrx]

yes i did.

and i dont believe that at all. I was C of E in a Cathoilc school and i cant say that we were forced to change to Catholic or anything. Perhaps the religion is is a fairly openminded one compared to some?
