OFSTED and Islamic 'schools'

Trollslayer

All held to the same standard, faith school or not.
Fair.

The whole article is about inspectors!

^^^ and cracking down on illegal unregistered schools which, by definition, escaped Ofsted ... until now

What seems to be clear, as also in that Dispatches report, is that they're focusing on the illegal Islamic schools, while still allowing the illegal Orthodox Jewish schools to get away with their nonsense.

I don't think any of us would disagree that unregulated 'schools' (the place students go for their compulsory education) are illegal and should be closed down immediately.

All schools should be teaching a broad and balanced curriculum and staffed by professionals.

The likes of Sunday schools and Islamic lessons in mosques in an evening are something quite different.

And there we have it.

And there we have what? The authorities focussing on the clear and present danger?

More power to them. I think they should focus on Islamic hate preachers more than Jewish nutcases, when the pragmatic application of limited resources is concerned (a.k.a. the real world).

All faith free schools with a focus on faith are a clear and present danger.

Stanga has 'fighter pilot vision' - so focussed on their target they sometimes flew into the ground.

Yes. Those C of E schools espousing the beheading of non-believers must be crushed! Beware the venomous threat faced by society at the hands of those organising nativity plays all over the country!

You're so busy trying not to stand on people's toes, you end up standing for nothing. Chaff in the wind.

At least I know there is a target, and the threat posed must be prioritised.

You'd have the authorities flitting between threats like a moth in a disco.
