Atheists target UK schools
Blogged by James Preece 1 Year ago...
So reads the headline in the Telegraph, apparently Richard Dawkins and Co have a plan to set up Athiest societies in Schools to counter the Christian ethos of many schools...
The federation aims to encourage students to lobby their schools and local authorities over what is taught in RE lessons and to call for daily acts of collective worship to be scrapped. It wants the societies to hold talks and educational events to persuade students not to believe in God.
Doesn't sound like they plan to do anything that Catholic schools aren't doing already...
Simon Calvert of the Christian Institute said: "Atheists are becoming increasingly militant in their desperate attempts to stamp out faith. It is deeply worrying that they now want to use children to attack the Christian ethos of their schools.
"Many parents will also be anxious at the thought of militant atheists targeting their children."
Many parents are already anxious at the thought of a lot of things that go on in our "Catholic" schools. Those with the authority to do something about it don't seem inclined to do so.
