Rightarmmover: I totally agree with all that you say about the involvement of the churches in our schools, and what is wrong with this. - However what most alarms me about your message is that you describe yourself as a "current teacher" yet are unable to spell "accepted" and "ridiculous"! I put the other errors down to hasty typing. Spelling happens to be one of my other interests, having just revised my scheme for a simplified phonetic spelling, and become involved in discussions on the Spelling Society's forum.
