This week the dean of Westminster Abbey used a sermon at the abbey, in front of the queen and journalists from several prominent press outlets, to call for more
state-funded Muslim faith schools.
It's hardly surprising to see the Church of England using its privileged platform to push this line. An expansion of Muslim schools would, of course, be in the C
of E's interests, as it would make it easier for the church to embed its own control over state education.
But it would also undermine children's freedom to choose their religious beliefs and identity when they are ready to, harm social cohesion and further embed the
failing multifaithist approach to public policy.
We're urging policy makers to stand up for inclusive, secular schooling. If you think that sounds worthwhile, please consider joining us or donating to us, or getting involved in our No More Faith Schools campaign. Thank
you for your support.
