Sir, - I found it depressing to read Denis Faul's apologia for segregated schools. Because he is a person who has been resolute in his implacable opposition to violence from whatever source, he has won admiration from many people throughout the island.
But what a curious myopia he has in bemoaning orange marches with infants wearing sashes" and other manifestations of sectarianism. It is precisely this atavistically induced tribalism that children educated with those of a different faith just might begin to question. - Yours, etc.,
