Hey SteeleRedux,
"This is pretty simple, if a religious school or hospital or charity group is using government funds to operate then they must not have the power to sack or refuse to employ because of gender or sexuality."

It's not that simple at all.
If you give 'x' amount to a student at a public school, then why should you not give that same 'x' amount to a student at a private school?
If private schools didn't have at least equal funding then less students would be able to go to them.

Do you want to deny those kids an opportunity for a better education?
(Though all kids should be entitled to a good quality education)

You're using the funding issue to impose UN curriculum upon the school; those parents don't own the UN anything, they probably pay the taxes that school the rest of the nations kids.

Another can of works portraying itself as a great idea.
Don't any of you people ever read the bloody fine print?

Armchair Critic,

The government at present is looking into the issue
of rights and law. It has every right to consider the
Ruddock Review and its recommendations
very carefully and think about
that complex inter-section of rights and law.
We'll have to wait and see what the Cabinet decisions
will be. Hopefully they will look at the bigger picture.

Foxy,

"When religious schools take public money to run
schools in the UK they have to play by secular rules.
The choice is outright: faith or funds.

The same should apply here in this country"

When institutions take public money to run (partly or in whole) their institutions then they have to play by the same rules as all others; wouldn't that be fair?

Obviously the God deniers will exempt the gw fraud/religion from their rules

Is Mise,

As you know - what they should do and what they do
are not always the same thing - especially in politics.

Dear runner,

Come on young fella, every now and then you might try not vomiting on the page and at least expand a little more. Do you believe kids should be expelled from any school receiving government funds because they have come out as gay?

If yes what is your reasoning?
