Comment | No. False. State schools, which Jordanhill is, is bound by the Equality Act 2010. We can agree that Jordanhill has no legal right to stop a Black or a gay or a Muslim or a Jewish or a transgender person going there. So why are they allowed to discriminate on things like autism? As someone with autism, I believe that no state school should be allowed to breach the Equality Act 2010 in any way (unless it’s a religious school in which case it legally can prioritise people of a religion, my school was Catholic and baptised Catholics were more likely to get placing requests). |
