It is no more apartheid than having chidren of different faiths educated in different schools. Our local school happens to be Church of England....there is also on a little further away which is Roman Catholic...then there is another one which has no ties to any religion.

The apartheid you speak of, that was prevalent in South Africa permeated every aspect of the Black and coloured peoples lives......homes, jobs, where they could go to see a film/play...where they could eat out(that is if they could afford that luxury...........which many could not).
It is not the same at all.....and should not be viewed in the same light.

If you are going to come on here and talk about such serious subjects as apartheid...then make sure you know what you are talking about first.
