My comments on abercf.blogspot.com were based on experience and deductive based on the read and studied teaching of RE according to the established Church of England and having been on pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

The danger now is that with recognition of all faiths in law under equal opportunities legislation (which I support) cranks such as pagans and wiccans can request for their teachings and written texts to be studied. Do you want 16-18 yearolds playing buffy the Vampire slayer or if they see a problem relaying it to teh statutory authorities? How does that fit into non religious and state education and what of teh private schools.

Is it now time to nationalise private education and have a genuine meritocracy to get into HE in order to save the church and RE. Then there'd be less protests and less trots as the entire Uk population would get equality of opportunity from cradle to graduation based on sustained and sustainable economic development in all parts of the UK.

I think so.
