She just called it "racism" that my Y6 child will get into the better local (faith) school whereas her son won't. Her son will most likely go to the good (but not outstanding) local non-denomination comprehensive.
We are both white British (so same race afaik) but I go to a catholic church with my children sometimes and she's either CofE or nothing (I'm not sure and I don't care). The best local secondary is catholic and its heavily over subscribed.
I already knew it was a touchy subject with her (because she lectured me about it a long time ago and didn't speak to me for six months), so i always avoid talking to her about it. However, she saw me this morning and brought the subject up. Alarm bells started ringing in my head but she wouldn't let it go until she'd told me what she thought of the "racism".
I think she left quite annoyed because I pointed out that her son currently goes to a CofE primary and it gives preference in its admissions to CofE church attendees.
I get it that she'd like to send her son to the better school, but if she cares that much, then she has had several years to either convert (many do) or move somewhere that she likes the school choices better. I've certainly had to jump through hoops to get into this school, which is heavily subsidised by the diocese. I thought it best not to say that though!
Generally, she comes across as sane and well-balanced but on this subject she's very wrong to have a go at me about it.
