Catherine MacLeod's question for Tony Blair
The Prime Minister held his monthly press conference today.
Catherine MacLeod, the UK political editor for the Herald, asked Tony Blair:
“You said earlier that you wanted to encourage a cross community cohesion and have more integrated communities. Why then are you so keen to forge ahead with faith schools? Can you point to anywhere, either in Britain or in any other part of the world, where segregated education leads to more integrated communities?”
Clearly not a question for which he had much of an answer.

That would have required his right hand to know what his left middle hand was doing...

Actually this time I agree myself. It is absurd that we have muslim schools or christian schools (religion is bad). Of course, if we were to prohibit muslim schools there will be an high price to pay and we will suffer even more bombs (I am thinking about the little girls in burqa I saw in Lancaster going to a Coranic schools, their parent will be definetely pissed off of not having a strict muslim school) but in name of progress is an acceptable price.
