Faith in schools?

First of all, have a look at what faith schools are:

I think this is an interesting topic and worth discussing it. Obviously, there are arguments for and against faith schools, which you can finde here:

Personally, I think faith schools should not be forbidden-they just need to be observed and stay in contact with the government concerning their curriculum, especially in order to avoid the teaching of unacceptable faith theories. Faith schools can have a positive influence on children by teaching great values-and they can also help them to understand the countries' culture better. In general, I would say that it is not wrong to teach children a certain faith, because to most of the children it's the faith they have grown up with and it might also be the dominant faith in their communities/cities/countries...
But then foreign children and children without any faith at all might be disadvantaged because their will of freedom of religion is pretty much limited. To avoid this one could install different schools with different faiths, but that would then lead to a separation of cultures. It seems to be a vicious circle.
My solution is to have faith schools, yes, but they should not only teach their own faith but also discuss other ways of faith and therefore give all the children the feeling of being welcomed in that country - no matter what their belief is like!
