I want to know why an unelected religious apostle is the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education. Granted he is only representing the Department in the House of Lords, but he is wielding too much influence on our education policy.
Recently the Apostle Adonis addressed Catholic educationalists, praising the work which Catholic schools and colleges do, and said that where parents want to see it, the government supports the expansion of faith-based education. He was clear that faith education is ‘absolutely compatible’ with social and wider inclusion. I think you're 'absolutely wrong' there Adonis!
He concluded by saying that he felt there is a ‘powerful shared mission’ on education between the government and the Catholic Church. He said that Catholic schools combine the Every Child Matters agenda with a concentration on high academic performance which leads to results which substantially exceed the national average.
How do you think they would deal with homophobic bullying?
