Default UK:Faith Schools Biased
But do we really care? All sorts of sectarian schools preach all sorts of gabble.

I'm sanguine on the point that somehow if you criminalize hate speech you will solve anything. Maybe you will. More likely you just legitimize the more affable and well crafted versions of it. Hence, Nick Griffin.

Right, but you aren't going to change anyone's mind either. I suppose it's possible but if kids are learning hate in school they're probably learning it at home too. Sometimes the most you can hope for with 'protest' is to get it on the record.

People get stupider when they are exposed to bigotry from a young age. Why else was racism so common 40 years ago but now is a very small minority. The difference is only cultural and educational. People with bigoted tendencies should not have a right to help poison a society that at least mostly does not have those tendencies. If they want to reap the benefits of an advanced country, those benefits come with obligations.
