Many of you will have seen the coverage in today's press of a new pamphlet on 'faith schools', published by the Centre for Policy Studies, written by Cristina Odone, which seeks to portray the UK 's state-funded faith schools as inclusive and under attack from hostile secularists.
The BHA's Andrew Copson responded to the pamphlet today on The Guardian's 'Comment is Free' website. You can read the blog and post a comment at http://tinyurl.com/4nze3u
