Nicky Morgan “As a Christian Secretary of State for Education, I will oppose secular, politically correct dogma”

After much set by the union's "Gove must go!" slogan, after which Gove did go, and we were left with ... another Tory! Who'da thunk it!?

Much has been said about the problems of Nicky Morgan. She is anti-LGBT rights, and, well a Tory! However somehow we seem to be struggling to hate her as much as we hated Gove.

Well here something that might help. In an interview for Conservative Home (a Tory blog), Morgan said “As a Christian Secretary of State for Education, I will oppose secular, politically correct dogma”. 

Not only that but ... "as an Education Secretary I’m a huge supporter of faith schools, a huge supporter of Church schools, I think that our education system owes a massive amount to the Church of England and to the Catholic Church."

So the new Secretary of State for Education is a bit big on religious interference in children's education and of institutionalising that with faith schools. 

She also seems quite keen on Grammar schools. “Well we set out very clear criteria for how the extension of a grammar school could be approved, and obviously we’ve got one application that’s been made at the moment that’s going to be decided on those very clear criteria.” 

Good old tory then, dividing the rich from the poor!
