Let's Keep This Between Us, Shall We?
Bishop Wants Confession at Schools so that kids can discharge their sins easily and then get back to planning the assault and whatever other wackiness today's kids get up to.

This isn't in the US, which is good because it would raise one helluva ruckus. The pending furor over the Pledge of Allegiance containing references to God should be enough of a sign that people don't want to mix education and theology (and in fact, the Church really doesn't want to either because the spotlight of inquiry on religion pokes more holes in their answers to life's questions than a family of rabid hedgehogs in a life raft).

On some levels I can see the value of allowing children to discharge their issues. But, on the other hand, what if the kid in question is Jewish or Muslim? Would there be equal representation of all religious disciplines or just the one's that could pony up the money to pay for it? Because there's no way the schools should be picking up the tab for a confessional booth in the school.

The whole concept opens far too many doors up for exploitation, seperation and isolation.

They can't even get condoms to be distributed in schools, can they? The argument that its like condoning teen sex is utterly stupid because teenagers ARE having sex now and they're getting diseases and worse. But that's a whole other tangent that I can't explore right now.
