Curse of Sectarianism

Curse of Sectarianism

Neazor (aff.) said the Church schools performed a service for the State and should be paid for that reason. Jansen (neg.) spoke of abuses of State aid in other countries and of "the curse of sectarianism." First speaker from the floor was Elwood(neg.), who forcefully asserted that "religion and education arc incompatible, and cannot exist together."

Not quite logically. I feel, Larsen (aff.) argued that as adherents of a religion must be trained in that religion, the State, by not giving aid. was depriving them of the training and therefore of the "right to worship." Thomas (neg.), vaguely reminiscent of Mr. Holland on Budget night, spoke of "the good of the community as a whole."
