Taken slighty out of context I think, on Monday they were saying that faith schools should be abolished:

FAITH schools undermine community relations and should be abolished, according to teachers.

The National Union of Teachers will debate calls for all faith schools to be brought within a secular system.

Religious groups should have no role running state-funded schools, according to a motion being debated at the NUT's annual conference in Manchester today.

"Whilst religious studies and philosophy should be an integral part of the entitlement curriculum for all pupils, religious groups, of whatever faith, should have no place in the control and management of schools," said the motion.

The motion said all pupils should have the chance to meet children from "a variety of backgrounds and faiths" within their daily schooling.

"Education segregated on the basis of faith, ethnicity or social class undermines community cohesion," it said.

Not round the area i live... Oldham, Bradford, Rochdale, Burnley etc...

It would be nice to occasionally get some local mail from the council that is focused on groups other than Muslims. that is reality round here.

Any teacher who is a member of the NUT is either

a) clinically thick
b) doesn't care about kids or education
or
c) wants to have a nice career in the NUT.

Or

(d) Likes the legal protection and support they get when some barmy kid attacks them and the school won't exclude said child
(e) Likes the legal protection and support they get when some barmy kid or colleague makes an unfounded allegation which could wipe out the teacher's career.

Carry on reading the Daily Mail, folks, all the insight you'll ever need.

Oh dear.

Where exactly are you pulling these 'facts' from SueEllen?

Granted, the number of practising Christians vs 'armchair' Christians may be rather low, but I feel our Muslim brothers and sisters are somewhat more observant of their creed.

NASUWT, offer all of this without the left-wing agenda or political posturing you get from the NUT.

Also the UK government is breaking the UN Convention on Child Soldiers by recruiting in schools. No one here can pretend they are only trying to recruit the six formers who are going to be 18 or over soon.

It's not recruitment - ffs!!
