The catholic church

[BrilloPad]

The sooner we get all religion out of schools the better. Religious education/brain washing should be the role of the church, not the school.

I have picked secondary school based on it being a faith school. The kids work harder and have a desire to get on : its nothing to do with faith.

Until state secondary schools start excluding trouble makers there will be a place for faith schools/public schools.

Schools that are allowed to discriminate

The point is, that faith schools discriminate (IMO immorally) despite the fact that they are taxpayer funded and have a duty to serve their community. Public schools obviously discriminate by their very nature, but that's capitalism. Its not really to do with the ability to exclude; the system itself promotes two tiers because it implicitly allows this discrimination.

IMO the only difference is that i the schools the kids toe the line. It means that those who want to work can get on.

If I ruled the world I would bring in the death penalty for anyone who committed an 'incestuous' crime
i.e. a policeman who committed a crime
an accountant who fiddled the books
A doctor who harmed his patients
An IT guy who builds a virus
A judge who gave a wrong judgement
A lawyer who gives dodgy advice
A politician who didnt serve the public interest


I would also double lampost production

Some of those are quite subjective. Who is going to decide? And what is their punishment if they get it wrong?

Me, I decide, because I rule the world. I wont get it wrong, I will follow the rules and if there is a mistake, the system is to blame.

... Perhaps it's naivety on the part of the church in believing that man is not evil and has no sins.

AIUI Catholic doctrine is quite the opposite. That man is basically sinful, and <ou can only be accepted by God if you go to mass etc.
