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 … -
The reality of
#faithschools for non-religious pupils: "I have been called out for not standing up in Mass.

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 -
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 -
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).

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 …

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.

Wow. The most radical idea they’ve had in a long time.
@scotlibdems have an opportunity to herald the start of the debate to rid our schools of religious segregation.#faithschools https://twitter.com/TheCommonSpace/status/1037404747043667968 … -
Faith Schools should be banned. Obviously.
#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.

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.

The only cap there should be on
#faithschools is that there should be zero of them.
