    No faith schools should exist.

    It’s ludicrous that selecting based on academic ability is considered abhorrent these days, but selecting based on what fairy your parents believe in is still perfectly normal.

      The problem is, there is a demand for them. The parents are choosing to send their kids to these schools knowing what they are.

      Personally I would ban all private schools and ensure ALL children went to public school, this would ensure that the kids had a good rounded education, as well as ensure funding was adequate as the rich kids would go there too.

        That is shame. I always felt science brought me closer to God. It’s how I feel toward understanding how a magicians does thier tricks. How can we truly appreciate the wonders without understanding what makes the work.

      Age of Earth will be my guess.

      They won’t want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it’s about 4 billion years old.
