Our No More Faith Schools campaign has gathered momentum this week. By yesterday our petition for an inclusive education system, free from religious
discrimination and proselytisation, had more than 3,300 signatures. Almost 350 of you had sent letters to your MPs. And more than 40,000 people had viewed the
site.
So it was timely that just after the campaign's launch the former education secretary Justine Greening questioned the wisdom of lifting the 50% cap on faith-based
admissions to new faith schools in England. We're urging the Department for Education to pay attention to her words and rethink its plans to lift the cap.
Instead of pressing ahead the government, along with the UK's devolved administrations and local authorities, should roll back religious groups' influence in
schools. If you haven't yet expressed your support for our campaign, please do so by following the links below. Thank you.
