Another petition - axe state funding for religious schools

Watch the first few mins of this video to get the mood. Nah, watch it all, it's got updates on the Atheist Bus Campaign, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill and Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) in all schools. (And I hope that means ALL schools - see below)


I love the "lions are cats too" bit at the end. Growl
I'll get to the petition below the belt

If you're still not convinced faith schools are a bad idea take note, this is where we could end up:



Now head on over to Number10.gov and read the proposal.

It is grossly unfair that schools are allowed to discriminate against children on the basis of their parents' religious beliefs.

We all pay taxes to fund all our schools; why should they only be open to a select proportion of our children? And this discrimination is not even based on academic ability or how far away they live--but upon which god or gods their parents happen to believe exist...
If you agree, sign up.
