Catholics schools teach to be tolerant of all of society and not to let prejudices get in the way of respecting fellow human beings. The test is on the street when confronted with intolerances and this can be hard to control for some and should it lead to confrontation and anger/violence on your part it was not taught in school.I disagree that getting rid of Catholic Schools would solve the problem of sectarianism TT.
Catholic schools were granted way back as a result of reformation Scotland not wanting Irish catholic immigrant children in their schools.
I believe that the ethos of the catholic schools Is in the majority positive and I don’t see why my grandchildren and great grandchildren should be deprived of a catholic education is a Catholic school because of the intolerance of others.
I believe that both the home and school are a partnership for religious education.
