Should the government abolish faith schools?

Answer 1

No.....why would they want to?

There are school for science, Math, arts. There are special schools for the privileged and handicapped. They even tossed around an idea to have a gay high school in NY.

What is the problem with a faith school?

Answer 2

In the US, the government cannot do so because the schools are constitutionally protected.

The Free Exercise clause prohibits the govt from interfering in the practice of religion, and the Supreme Court has ruled that parents have a fundamental right to educate their child however they see fit, as long as the basic subjects are covered.

So, if a parent wants to send their children to a faith-based or religious school, in place of or in addition to any other school, there is nothing the govt can do as long as the children are not being harmed/abused.

Answer 3

Faith based schools are privately funded. Our laws prohibit the government from interfering with privately funded schools. No one HAS to attend a faith based school, but most people of faith, which make up the majority of America, want to be able to choose what kind of school to send their child to. And if you have enough money for the tuition, (hence privately funded) then anyone can send their child to a faith based school. UNFORTUNATELY, the government won't give parents "school vouchers" so they can choose the school they want, instead if you don't have the money, you have to send your child to a "faithless" state run school. Now, that's what should be abolished.

Answer 4

No that takes away selection which i've got faith is a factor of British democracy. The State Socialists could desire to because of the fact there like countless babies to be indoctrinated in State Comprehensives. asserting that a lot of this Labour government are hypocrites it form of feels while it contains coaching. faith faculties have a good song record while it contains standards of coaching and additionally self-discipline and morals. We should not be abolishing faculties we could continually fix Grammar faculties and opposite the wear and tear those type obsessed Neo Marxists have performed in this u . s ..

Answer 5

How many "American Citizens are eve (Aware) that the Gov. has been (Bilking The Tax Payer/s) for way too many years now on system that doesn't earn much (Dividends) for our own Schools in our own Counties. I really do (Believe) that it's been time for the Gov. to not only (Abolish) but "Take A Dump" on the whole program in general. Thanx !!! rumeoui

Answer 6

Yes, im ashamed a Labour government could even set up such a thing.

Education should not mix with Faith, and Religion should not be allowed to re-enter public institutions. Our forefathers fought long and hard to separate Church and State, and it was incredibly painful for the rest of Europe to do the same, so we can;t just let them in by the back door

NB
People, i believe hes talking about the British Faith Schools..hence the Cadbury in his name... Besides, schoosl for special needs children is acceptable, they need the support. Christian and Muslim children don;t need the religious swing on every part of their lives, so their should be NO faith schooling

Answer 7

the government shouldn't abolish anything they are already doing too much of that

Answer 8

Which country and which government are you talking about? If you're talking about the U.S. or any state in the union, then no, that would be unconstitutional.

Answer 9

i assume you are referring to the school shooting yesterday at the amish school. no religion didn't have anything to do with it at all. he was just a madman consumed with thoughts of raping little girls...too bad he couldn't just take himself out.
have you stopped to consider that since prayer was taken out of school that this all started

Answer 10

They have already done that and these days we need faith,and the holy bible more than ever.
