Alex Thompson from UK Column explains the latest position on the Schools Bill.
This is centralisation on steroids. It's a complete take-over by central government.
This is shaping up to be a bureaucratic and legal nightmare that could easily result in more children being removed from their parents.
Children will no longer be the responsibility of their parents unless those parents do as they are told, which is the "freedom" only to comply. It doesn't matter whether the rules will be interpreted benignly or beneficially, because the rules will be in place whatever the nature of any future government.
