In a country like America, where secular public education is a principle, something like Britain’s first state-sponsored Hindu school simply could not exist.
After reading the article, I wondered: is it right for British taxpayers to fund faith-based education? I don’t think it is — why should taxpayers have to finance religious institutions when not everyone has a religion, and the benefits of such education go to only a small portion of the country? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with religious education, but to me it doesn’t make sense for government to get involved in it.
What do you think?
