I agree wholeheartedly with Coun Salim Mulla that it’s not right to teach atheism to children as young as four.
How dare these unseen dictators introduce such outrageous lessons? This country is struggling to educate our youngsters in the three Rs. Surely their energies must be directed into making sure every pupil has a basic education, equipping them to enter the real world.
Producing confident young citizens of the future requires tenacity, direction and respect. Introducing yet more diversity – be it atheism, gay rights etc – totally demolishes the path of true education, is disrespectful to those families who do their best to bring up their children to believe in their particular faith, and yet more evidence of the nanny state.
Help them by directing your attentions to what matters and give us back our ‘education’.
Coun Konrad Tapp, Conservative, Meadowhead Ward.
