Just who should be in the dock here?

Actually all emails are recorded and kept for a minimum of 6 months

That may be so, but do you really think infant schools have access to them all?

Our council uses anti terrorism laws to ensure the parents live in catchment areas for popular schools so yes i reckon primary head teachers ( especially those I know of) would use powers to do this but I reckon for me anyway that this story has run it's course.....

Mind you religeon has been done on here so how about politics and then racism... or am I treading the finest of fine lines, lol.... sorry mods... I'll go back under the stairs now...

Jon, did the photo on the article not give you some clue as to how the tone of the article might be biased? Woman, clutching cross looking heavenwards - please!

Be aware that most reporters will go to great lengths to convince/cajole/bully people into posing like that for such an article.

Especially if it helps them push their latest editorial agenda. The Telegraph is wanting to appeal to its Middle England readership that the CofE is under attack. If it really cared that much about the spirituality of its readership it would mount a campaign to get people into church.

Here are three t*tbits from the Telegraph piece which should explain the motives of the paper:

...latest example of a Christian being persecuted by society

This is the latest in a series where Christians are being persecuted for their religious beliefs....

As The Daily Telegraph disclosed on Monday, teachers now face being disciplined if they discuss their religious beliefs in school.

Seriously guys this is really sloppy journalism, I thought ishers wouldn't fall for such nonsense.

I think most people are taking from the article the prejudices they went in with.

Unhappily, unless you are using PGP or similar encryption software you should probably assume that any e-mail you send is in the public domain. The thing about computers is that they are terribly good at repetitive tasks like scanning billions of text messages or emails to find certain key words or phrases, so if someone decides that thay are interested in the sort of things that you are they will probably be able to intercept it and read it without your ever knowing it.

It's called GCHQ !!

It's like is you say bomb kill primeminister, enought times in a phone conversation or email the it will be picked up then you will hear the clicks on the telephone line from the intelligence services... not that I'm paranoid or anything ( but do two turns round a roundabout, never use the same route when driving, always look who's following you)
