Article 2 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights says: Quote: No person shall be denied the right to education. In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religions and philosophical convictions. [My emphasis] The Convention has direct force of law in this country through the Human Rights Act 1988, and so any challenge can be pursued in the UK courts. Where's the collecting tin? QV
