DI Bruce Robertson Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Surely an RC school giving priority to RC pupils in a situation of high demand is entirely logical isn't it? Yes, entirely logical.However, when the bumpkin hater is arguing that every parent should have the choice to send their kids to a religious school of their choice, it becomes a problem for his argument? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39153184 The tax we pay as a proportion of income is set to rise to the highest level since the mid 80s. Under a Tory government. A Tory government forcing through more and more cuts under an austerity agenda. So, we're collectively paying more of our money in tax and getting significantly less for it and the Tories claim to be fiscally responsible and, worse of all, people actually believe them. Of course such increases in tax are not spread equally across the board, oh deary me no. For example income tax has come down, but then again NI has increased in proportional terms. Corporation tax has decreased significantly as part of our race to the bottom in taxing businesses.

For me it's more of an embarrassment that the Labour Party have got themselves into such a state that the Tories have free reign. Both parties, right now, are a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A child of any religious background (or none at all) can attend either a non-denominational or a denominational school. That is the parent's choice. Setting up walls around entire communities or closing off entry to entire sections of the industrial economy based on religious background is segregation. and so is building a wire fence to divide a playground (based on religion).. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Willie Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 23 hours ago, DI Bruce Robertson said: Ok, point taken. But....... In my experience (bumpkin area in NE Scotland) the catholic primary school was small & over subscribed - with RC raised pupils given preference over non RC pupils, despite the catchment area.In my opinion, that is a form of segregation based on religion. As an aside, lots of atheist / agnostic parents wanted their children to attend this school, due to its reputation for producing a higher standard of student. So, when is difference based on religion good? And conversely, when is it bad? of course it is, tho I can see why in the example you give. There should only be state schools (i.e. non-denominational) which educate all bairns. If you want your bairns given religious instruction then see your local priest, rabbi, imam etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
