Union leaders have warned the government that a religious discrimination bill must not allow faith-based schools to hire staff based on their faith.
And it makes sense, right?
I mean, if faith-based schools are permitted to go around hiring people on the basis of faith, they’ll be faith-based. And that’s a problem because… um …
Hang on. Isn’t the point of a faith-based school, that the staff all share the same faith?
