News and opinion28 November 2018 - No More Faith Schools is a national campaign dedicated to bringing about an end to state funded faith schools launched by the National Secular Society. Faith schools have a negative impact on social cohesion, foster segregation of children on social, ethnic and religious lines, and undermine choice and equality. They also enable religious groups to use public money to evangelise to children. This campaign is a platform for everyone who wants to see an inclusive education system, free from religious control.
