PETER Mullen’s hatred of all things connected with the state knows no bounds (Echo, Aug 12).
He now asks: “what is the state doing involving itself in education?” Presumably he is happy to read of Muslim schools teaching a very fundamentalist concept of Islam, almost jihadist in their beliefs?
Perhaps he would be happy to have a group of “unreconstructed” South Africans teaching of the correctness of apartheid and the inferiority of non-white people?
I am surprised he does not advocate the privatisation of our defence forces, in view of the massive cost overruns which seem to occur.
