Entirely agree with
@theAliceRoberts on this, and I say this as a reasonably devout Christian,#faithschools have had their time. State education should, and must, be secular to avoid excluding anyone from it. https://twitter.com/NicholasHellen/status/1061531246113841152 … -
Stop funding

'For too long the state’s education authorities sat idly by while the fundamental rights of children were sacrificed on the false altars of "religious freedom" and "parental choice"':

Ageism towards the elderly is a problem. But please also include the young in discussions re: ageism. In the UK, children and infants do not get the same rights to have a discrimination-free education (
#FaithSchools) or bodily autonomy (#circumcision) that adults get.@CRINwire -
The reality of
#faithschools for non-religious pupils: "I have been called out for not standing up in Mass. I've been told that 'not responding with a significant amplitude to prayers' amounts to not supporting the school" https://www.nomorefaithschools.org/testimonials/2018/06/students-forced-to-lead-prayers-and-made-to-attend-mass-the-reality-of-faith-schools-for-non-religious-pupils1 …#NoMoreFaithSchools -
Why allow schools to operate based on religious divisions in the first place, shame on the government!

Thanks for all your suggestions re
@ThePledge topics BTW, really appreciated them. Some of them I just can’t use as everyone would be in agreement & thus no debate. I think I am gonna go with debating#FaithSchools -
Faith schools allowed to accept 100% based on religion.
#Faithschools full stop. Is there anything more damaging to future generations than segregating kids based on their parents’ religion? How is this going to help communities integrate? I hate this.

Main consequence of lifting the cap would be less social integration. Evidence shows pupils going to
#FaithSchools already don't match local area (most stark is the fewer pupils from poor backgrounds).

And that is why faith schools do a disservice to our children. To be forced feed this rubbbish is the same as being force fed fascism at such a young age. They need an education not lessons in bigotry

And so it begins. If the papers are gunning for you then you know you are doing something right. You’re doing a great job Alice and nothing will ever change if it isn’t challenged.

Small victory in this piece of news, the government appears to have ditched its promise on removing the cap on faith schools which would have allowed them to allocate more than 50% of places based on religion.

Ill informed comment of the day - what experience of
#faithschools do you actually have Daniel? Both my children were at a CofE State Primary, their classmates consisted of Roman Catholics, Athiests, Muslims, Hindus and Methodists, amongst others.#inclusive education -
Strange how those who support
#faithschools generally don't get their medical care at faith hospitals -
The only cap there should be on
#faithschools is that there should be zero of them. -
Who'd have thought that a system allowing schools to indoctrinate children would have lead to a situation where children are being indoctrinated? https://news.sky.com/story/ofsted-religious-belief-being-used-to-actively-pervert-young-minds-11231681 …
