"Operation Trojan Horse" made me lol, it's not the most cryptic codename for secret infiltration plot.

Maybe it was so bad and obvious it was good?

It's a tough challenge, on the one hand trying to keep certain schools from regressing back towards the dark ages, while on the other hand having those who are religious being comfortable about being educated there.

 

Best off with religion out of the classroom altogether (except as a subject i.e. R.E.) and this would mean no Christian prayers either. Regarding sex education, teaching about homosexuals (whatever that means) and mixed swimming, I guess if you have an objection you should be permitted to exclude your child from these events. I imagine you already can.

Homosexuals are a part of our society and should not be blotted out of a textbook, if you live here you accept the laws that have been set.

The Islamic takeover of Birmingham has been successful, regardless of the details of that article.

IMO those who use emotive words like "disgrace" are generally incapable of discussing a topic rationally.

I've very little doubt that it's true. It was happening when I taught there.

I think that the parents of pupils from a minority cultural or religious group ought to have the right to send their children to schools that reflect those cultural and religious beliefs.

 

Therefore there should be provision for schools for white children whose families follow Church of England Christianity. They should be allowed to dress in a school uniform that exposes their faces, take part in sports in mixed sex classes, celebrate Christian festivals such as Christmas by having Nativity plays, etc. Wherever possible, in order to promote this ethos, the head teachers should also have been born in the UK and be Church of England Christians.

Personally and professionally I don't believe that religion has any place in schools and that the State shouldn't fund any school of any faith. Any faith school should be self funded.
