MizsterJones Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 If it worries you why don't you move into the area and send your kids there to even out the distribution? There's no prohibition on non Asians attending this school. Would you move into the area and send your children into a school where they would be a considerable minority ,better still if your children are old enough ask them if they would want to be in that situation.Seems to me further proof that certain factions ,other than the white population,do not want to ,whats the word thats bandied around a lot ?..oh yes integrate ,they would sooner set their own town within a town up. ---------- Post added 18-07-2014 at 10:43 ---------- Stop it with the logic, BF.

longleyman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) and it all came from one UNVERIFIED letter? We don't have a policy of segregating pupils in the classroom," he said. And Mr Alam denied claims there had been assemblies with speakers sympathetic to Al-Qaeda. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two anonymous members of staff at Park View School told BBC Radio 4 that school assemblies had praised Anwar al-Awlaki, the former head of Al-Qaeda. Draft Report: DClarke said there was a "sustained and coordinated agenda to impose upon children in a number of Birmingham schools the segregationist attitudes and practices of a hardline and politicised strain of Sunni Islam". In the past, Mr.Alam said Muslim women and girls have an 'obligation' to cover their bodies after denying claims he made schoolchildren wear headscarves.

taxman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 A leaked report into the so-called "Trojan Horse" plot has found evidence there was an agenda to introduce "an intolerant and aggressive Islamist ethos" into some Birmingham schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longleyman Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Education Secretary Michael Gove defended the right of schools to promote their values........I wonder if Government policy is at fault. I came across this report in the New York Times and the Ofsted guidelines surprised me. "Private schools, outside the state system, should be free “to teach creationism” and other types of religious teachings, the government has ruled, because of “the right of parents to bring up their children as they see fit.” Ofsted guidelines published earlier this year permit Muslim schools to segregate pupils by sex, “restrict” the teaching of music and art and allow girls to wear the hijab “as a part of their identity and a commitment to their beliefs within Islam.” (In light of the Birmingham events, Ofsted appears to be reconsidering its advice, but no new guidelines have yet been issued.)"
