How can anyone care about such trivial issues when the real problem - that this school is named after a Christian saint - is sticking out a mile and a half?

Religious belief is at the root of literally ALL the injustice and suffering in this miserable world. In today's Scotland, as everyone now agrees, it should have no place at all. Well done Ms Gunn-Johnson for taking a stand against this outmoded pernicious nonsense. And Ms Mackie, you may be "interim head" for a very long time, because no one who isn't raving mad would dream of becoming head of this school until its name is changed!!
