If I had told parents/teachers/school I am entirely certain that they would have said no. Besides, it was a spur of the moment things. These 'students for life' people came in, I politlely excused myself from class [to go to the toilet] and didn't come back.

So 20% of people aren't happy with the school system, as it discriminates against them. So, they are to fund a school themselves, and continue to pay for other people's Free schools through their taxes, or have their kids forcefed BS from a bunch of high and mighty priests.Is there any evidence of popular discontent with Catholic and Protestant schools in this country? I seem to remember a survey last year which stated that over 80% of the population as being happy to send their children to Catholic schools.
f people want to have a multi or non-denominational school, the solution is simple, build it (it is what everyone else has had to do), and the state will pay for the teachers if the numbers are there.
Catholics get free schools, others get, ah... nothing.
oh right. That makes sense.

So you dossed of class with no permission from anyone! And you are suprised that the school told you that if you did not want to go to your classes you could be thrown out. Your point is ridiculous, the same would probably have happened if it you had done it to the Irish class.

Considering I still remained on school grounds then I didn't break any rules per se. As for Irish, considering it is a compulsory subject that does not infringe on my beliefs, and its teaching does not undermine a healthy debate about an important topic, why would I skip it?

There should have been a free class for does that didn't want a Catholic education. That's the least I expect from a school that receives public funding.
Catholics don't get free schools, and are treated the same way as every one else in the applications. The state funds a wide variety of schools, be they multi-denominational, Muslim, Mehtodist, Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Jewish and Roman Catholic, on a basis which is fairly open and transparent. If you want a non-denominational school, get the numbers and a site for it.

If parents decide to send their children to a Catholic school then that is up to them. I certainly don't feel that children should be forced to go to state schools. I think we would be better off discussing the threats that a certain other religion poses to civilisation as we know it, but that probably wouldn't be very politically correct.

we're talking about people who aren't happy with being taught superstition and fallacy in school -- not about people who are happy with it.
Do you think kids should be forced to go to catholic school?
the thing is, this thread is about people unfairly being stuck sending their kids to exclusionist schools.
As far as I know, nobody is forced to go to muslim schools in Ireland. Talk about dodging the issue.
Every child should have the right to an appropriate education that does not villify them or their families. This right is not observed here, obviously.

Religion is an optional class in most schools.
In my own alma mater, there was no difficulty. If you parents/guardians wished you excused from religion, there was a study room in to which you could go. However, this may not be the case in some schools, which have a strong and obvious religou ethos, or have not the funding to pay for a teacher to supervise your activites. However, this is depenedent of the issue of your parents/guardians giving consent, and not someone deciding what classes they want to go to. School ain't college.
