Do they still get segreagted schools in the South? I know it's illegal, but like the white flight that was recently highlighted here in the UK, it can happen anyway. With us chuck in faith schools and the jobs a good un. (or bad un depending on your view)

But won't that have affected kids all over the Country against which these figures are tested, not just Swindon?
It doesn't of course excuse being under the 53% national average
Which of course still only stands up if there aren't local factors, like high % of English as second language/dual language speakers, etc. One assumes not, given the letter. |

It's actually very unsegregated. There are a lot of private Christian Faith schools though! Some recent analysis showed New York as the most segregated schooling system - they have to go to the local school in this system, so by having a big racial divide in the actual neighbourhoods, NY performs badly. |

The prime minister counting on their faith on god, in the 21st century.
Fucking hell.

If faith in God helps them grieve better or lead what they think then so be it. Religion is the excuse not the reason for half the shit that happens.

While it can be the reason for the other half. |

Did you know that wasn't even there until the 50s. Technically speaking America is a secular nation, whereas Britain is not. |

I think religion is a contributing factor if you are on about terrorism, but terrorism isn't what I had in mind. It goes a lot further than that. |

Liberty to Tender Consciences and all that.
I haven't a problem with political leaders having a personal religious faith/conviction in God. It becomes problematic when this is explicitly expressed in the political process (America) or if an attempt to impose faith upon others is made.
You're right that it runs deeper. The mentalities of all people are inevitably influenced by religion in some implicit way. Terrorist or civilian.
