I would much prefer to see this country follow the example of the USA in not allowing any form of "faith" schools. I really believe that sectarian education is unhealthy, in a world-embracing sense, and that education should be completely separate from religious affinity.

I had a good education at Paddock House, a Convent Grammar School, and I will always be grateful to the nuns (and lay teachers) who gave me such a good grounding in academia. Along with this, though, there was always the Catholic doctrine, constantly reinforced and promoted. It took me nearly 20 years to shake off "Catholic Guilt" and become a laid-back and (I hope) free-thinking individual.
