[MD] What "moral revolution" is called for by the MOQ?

Case, Platt

Obviously (again) I'm not saying children should decide what schools they go to, just elucidating the dangers of "parental free choice". 
What are your views on faith schools specifically? I think there is a danger that integration and co-operation are not favoured by monoculture environments.  
If in the educational market place there are schools that for instance teach literal biblical interpretations instead of science, should this even be an option for parents to "choose".
Or conversely it might be considered wrong to choose on behalf of a child to exclude them from religious education.  

Society has a role to play, in limiting the choices that are available and our "moral revolution" requires that intellectual development be favoured by those limits.
