Down in Northumberland the County Council has decided that kids going to Catholic schools should get a free bus pass and a separate bus whilst the non-god-squad kids have to pay for their bus. I'm no lawyer but I thought there were laws against stuff like this?
'Northumberland County Council has introduced a new policy for school buses in which Catholic children get a free (and separate) bus to the local Catholic schools while non-Catholics attending the same schools have to pay (and go on another bus).
'The scheme is costing the council £90,000 a year (less fares from non-Catholic children) and has been widely condemned by parents and teachers alike.
'The policy was described as "apartheid" by one parent, Cherie Nelson, who hails originally from South Africa. She said she would try to get the council's decision overturned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.' (National Secular Society article).
