Learning prayers in R.E? What a shock.

Unfortunately women get a horrible deal under muslim law. In some countries women can be killed for so called honour crimes and the men get away with it. A deal is done between families, often money changes hands. The low value of a female life. At least this British lady will have her embassy to fight for her, imagine what it's like for a girl who doesn't.

Learning about a religion does not include memorising verses and prayers and to get kids to recite this aloud in this climate is cynical. And they wonder why the Right is rising in Germany. Can you imagine the furore that would ensue if they got Muslims to recite aloud a Jewish blessing and then claim it was just part of the lesson?

I completely agree. School should be secular. I did bible study and Hebrew in my own time and that's how it should be.

Faith schools should be outlawed completely but I'm always on the fence when it comes to teaching religion as a subject, I can see both pros and cons. I always remember our Sociology class in Sixth Form asking our quite obviously atheist teacher why he taught RE to lower school, and he just responded with something like 'because the more you know about it, the more you realise how much **** it all is, and how to argue against it'. Made me think |

I agree with this 100%. I don't think faith schools should be allowed. Religion has no real place in education.

I have had my mind changed by the increasing cases of schools 'conditioning' pupils and 'brainwashing' them into Religious Fundamentalism and Anti-Western propaganda - even in once traditional secular schools. Oldknow Academy in Birmingham springs to mind.

We should be raising a generation who are encouraged to think critically for themselves, do their own research and reading and come to their own conclusions, whether that's on religion or politics. Indoctrinating children is appalling as far as I'm concerned. |
