Letter: Jesus may have been a revolutionary but never a philosopher
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.YOUR correspondents on the subject of religious education (Letters, 10 July) did not mention that RE is now compulsory in the sixth form. My school has just introduced this subject after a visit from the inspectors. This means I will have to study RE next year, although I am legally entitled to leave school and not be taught anything
at all.
Can anyone tell me why the subject is compulsory in the sixth form? Perhaps the Government is planning to make all 16 to 18-year-olds who have left school come back once a week for RE lessons.
