[Responding to article about UK criminalising dropping out of school before 18]
Sigh...this is obviously just another way of chipping away at parents rights in subservience to the pro-communist, pro-homosexual perversion, anti-Christian government.

Is Pro-Communist, Pro-Homosexual Perversion, Anti-Christian the formal, legal name of a political policy, or is it just a nickname?
Not to side with defiastraitor, but the policy does seem rather the wrong approach to the situation. Not everyone has the mental capacity or drive to achieve A levels (the exams sat at age 18, for anyone not familiar with the British system) hell, some people only barely scrape through GCSE (age 16).
Wait. . .only reason minors would drop out of school is because they disagree with Communists, homosexuals and anti-Christians...
Because God doesn't let anything happen to His Beloved's. . .
Okay . . .
At least England has the good idea to keep everyone educated citizens and voters in their country.
What parents' rights?
Previously, it was illegal to drop out of school before 16. Dropping out of school after 16 did not legally require parental consent. At least that's the way it was in Scotland.
If it was the same in England, this changes bugger all with regard to parents' rights.
Brain_in_a_Jar (much belated):
I don't recognize James' alphabet soup, being American, but in the US a student with no interest in college still has the option of trade school and the like. I would assume there are similar things in the UK.
Yep, dropping out of school is truly the capitalistic, homophobic, Christian thing to do.
Serious response: lolwut?
Yes, it's not about trying to make sure children get enough of an education to stand a chance in the workforce, no, it's some insidious ploy to take over the world through vague, ill-defined means.
Once again, it's all about you.
Is that username a WoW reference? Because if it is, it's a lame one.
If it's any help, I dropped out of the British schooling system at age 13, and I am pro-communist, pro-homosexual perversion and anti-christian government.
you mean like in the USA ?
I believe in the US you can leave with parents approval and proof of a job or entry to a trade apprenticeship.
its foul to want kids to learn enough to get a decent job and the skills to live in a modern society, How dare they !!
Not that a high school diploma will get you far.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
