Difficult to ban faith schools in a true democracy but I see no reason at all why they should be funded in any way by the Exchequer.
All schools should be inspected, public and private, to the same standard and in the case of private schools failing such inspections they should face the need for immediate improvement or closure.
Interesting though that religion effects everyone in one way or another... not necessarily for the good either. You say religious schools should not be funded by the exchequer (and I agree) but we police everything - including store opening hours (Easter Sunday - coming soon) - all based on religious beliefs. GOD FORBID I have anything to say about the existence of their Gods - They'd lock me away for religious incitement - who is inciting who here?? I'm off now to stoke up the fire to dance around at midnight!
