I don't know how truly self sufficient the private school system is in Britain, but I do know that single faith schools (Muslim, Catholic, etc) have more freedom with regards what they teach.
Personally I'd like to do away with single faith schools altogether, especially in the current climate of religious extremism. I'm all for kids being taught religion, but not from the viewpoint of one being superior to another. Isn't that at least part of the reason why we're in this mess in the first place?
