The religious use of the word “Tutu” used to be a reference to the archbishop of Cape Town and tireless campaigner against injustice, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This week a “tutu”, if you read the rightwing papers, appears to be the compulsory dress for all boys at Church of England primary schools, along with perhaps a tiara to say their prayers in. The Church of England matters in education. It runs about a quarter of all the primary schools in England, which may be a scandal in itself. It is quite right for the church to fight back against such tendencies.
