In fact my sister's guitar teacher went to a Jewish state school in Dublin. Educate Together is also funded by the state. The consequences of a secular society is one I, and I believe most Irish people, do not envisage. Religious schools do much better than secular schools in most countries. Traditional Christian morality must dictate the policies of government, otherwise it will go the way of ancient Greece. Murdering of the unborn children nor special rights rights for sodomites should not be permitted. The last thing Irish people need is to elevate secular humanism(with all it's associated moral bancrputcy) to be the yardstick for morality of the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
