LabelFairness of repairs funding to Protestant school
Question text Now suppose that there was a Protestant and a Catholic primary school - both completely state-funded. The authorities decided that the Protestant school should get extra money because part of the roof had fallen in and it badly needed a new roof. Which of these statements comes closest to your own view on whether this was fair or unfair? It is not fair to give extra money to the Protestant school because the Catholic community is not being treated equally; It is fair to give the extra money to the Protestant school because that is where the need is greatest; It depends
