LETTER: Chablis socialists who are forced to choose between head and heart
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr D. Richards
Sir: The crucial argument that you fail to consider in your leading article ("Harman gets her priorities right", 22 January) is why Harriet Harman chose a Roman Catholic comprehensive for Harry, her first child. Choice on religious grounds is generally accepted and, thankfully and honourably, virtually all church schools, both Anglican and Roman Catholic, have chosen to be comprehensive.
What does her choice for her second child say about church schools in general and London Oratory in particular? Is Harry more in need of a Catholic ethos than Joe? If it was crucial for one, why not the other?
Yours sincerely,
