My point is that it can be seen as divisive if people choose the better Catholic school rather than the local comp. Especially if you are a C of S minister! As if your too good to mix with others
Are you even in Scotland, Quincie? I can't think that I've ever heard anyone talking about the "local comp".
When my DS was ready for school we had the choice of two local primaries - one non-denominational and one RC. The first was a recent merger of two schools, about to incorporate a third, so something of an unknown quantity, we didn't know anyone whose children were at that school and it was a 15 minute walk away. The other, RC school, was well established, attended by the children of many friends and neighbours, two of whom also taught at the school so well known to us, and it was at the end of the road we lived on at the time. Catchment areas for both were broadly similar.
But anyway, even when I was an atheist, my preference was for a Catholic school because I liked the ethos.
By the time DS was at secondary school I had moved out of Glasgow - his DF and I are divorced - so he started secondary school - non-dom/"local comp" in a largely middle class area. Then I moved further afield, and DS chose to go back to school in Glasgow - to Holyrood which is in Govanhill. If you're not familiar with that area of Glasgow I can assure you that "middle class clientele" is not a phrase which would immediately leap to mind when thinking about Holyrood Secondary School! RC secondaries tend to have large catchment areas, so are more likely to be socially diverse than "local comps".
And anyway, this is a thread about the violent, criminal behaviour of Rangers fans. Why should Catholic schools be blamed for their thuggery? That makes no sense at all, but as pp has already pointed out, that's the way these discussions always seem to go.
Rangers fans are thugs so Catholic schools must be banned.
Eh, no!
