And the right of the Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Shinto, Buddhist, Pagan and all the rest of the town...that all pay their Taxes.
Tell me; after fulfilling all the religious needs of the community, without catering to just one...what time is actually left to teach the subjects that they will need.
EDIT:
I had also said that they should teach RE, so that people dont discriminate or insult other religions/cultures unknowingly. That is not the same as teaching the Bible, which i disagree with. I remember in my 1st year of School handing the Bible i was given back to the Teacher, and getting a right old bollicking...My comments re RE( ) in schools was more in response to this whole "religion has no place in schools" position that I was seeing. It is something which I fundamentally disagree with. It has no place being imposed, agreed. However it has a place where it is what the parents want.
Why? 'Coz i wasnt a Christian and didnt want to be taught the Christian Scriptures. It was my opinion then and still is, that it is none of the schools business what Religion i am, and they shouldnt forcefeed me the religion of the RE teacher
