Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

I thinkthat religious/denominational schools should be eliminated. How can separating children on the basis of their parents' beliefs possibly encourage integration? It only fosters division at best, and hatred at worst. Kids have no inbuilt prejudices - such things come from the environment in which they are raised and educated.
I went to a comprehensive school in the east of Scotland which had pupils from various religions and backgrounds, albeit predominantly WASP, and I can honestly say religious differences were just not an issue.
It's different further west of course - look at Glasgow and the Rangers/Celtic crap that goes on.
