Paul wrote:

"education is secular. This involves the abolition of religious schools"

I know Paul can speak for himself, but do I misunderstand him when I say
he proposes the closure of religious schools?

Engels might have been wrong or today the question of religious schools
needs another answer, but I think it is wrong to see an agreement, where
there is in fact some disagreement in the immediate demands to raise.
