Faith schools ‘must teach gay rights’

When I was in school in 1950s, I was taught ‘Moral Science’. Last month Japan has introduced this subject in their education system. Nicky Morgan, the education secretary, should consider doing the same in all public schools in the UK.
This would avoid regular rivalry between children, teachers and parents of different faiths.
The current rules being introduced are a violation of the fundamental principle of human rights, namely freedom of thought, conscience, religion and education.
Such rules should be nipped in the bud. They are against the concept of human rights that derives from the doctrine of natural rights, which holds that individuals, by virtue of their humanity, possess fundamental rights beyond those prescribed in law [p540, Cambridge Encyclopaedia, 4th Ed).
Instead of introducing British values rules in this manner by piecemeal as a reaction to snap inspections, it is high time public policy time and money is spent on drafting and introducing a written British Constitution.
Nicky Morgan should be reminded that money does not grow on trees.
