I would rather be erring on the side of common-sense pragmatism and doing everything possible so that I felt that no stone was left unturned in terms of trying to protect school children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I would abolish schools which systematically inculcate sectarian beliefs.
I would like to make it so that education was a right, and not a privilege.
I would adopt a standpoint, irrespective of whether someone was for or against it, if I felt deeply that it was right for the movement.
Leave no stone unturned.
Well I've been crystal clear that we should not have schools which are set up by extremists whether they're Christian fundamentalists, Islamic fundamentalists or any other sort of outrageous and beyond the pale organization.
Heartless zealotry, whether from the religious right or from the teachers' union on the left, is always troubling.
The idea that anybody might be allowed to use their common sense when clearly no harm is being done is part of history now.
In my ideal world, no child would suffer. Charitable instincts would prevail. There would be global acceptance of all different types of people.
Christians and non-Christian voters alike have become far too comfortable slinging rocks at the expense of making any real political or social progress.
In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.
