Yar, UKIP aren't even trying to hid that shit now.
Thing is, I watched Question Time a while back (2015 or 2016, I forget) where OFSTED were accused of antisemitism by a panellist for asking a Jewish school why they separated genders and enforced unbalanced dress codes.
So, publicly there's deffo a perception of anti-Muslim bias (and indeed that may be true) but there's pushback and accusations of anti-religious bigotry towards anything that might infringe on anything..."anti-British ".
You get how problematic that sounds, right?

Indeed. Though that mocking allows people to dodge having to deal with some difficult questions. That's not aimed at you, specifically, I just think that people on "our" side would mock anyone who wanted to ban a religious action in the public sphere on the grounds of "British values" of it came from the daily mail / ukip - yet that's exactly what we're talking about doing here, no?
I'm sure it can, just that it won't always depending on the make up of the local area. If your local school is rotten and there's no other options, then what? Private tuition? Then you start getting private schooling by proxy.Yossarian wrote:The reason for having ditched grammars and secondary moderns and moving towards comprehensives was precisely because it can.

I grew up in a Muslim country, went to a school which was not religious, it was civic, and was "mixed". The British edu action system seems a nonsense. Going to a boys grammar for a levels was a shock.
I think all schooling should be mixed, local, non selective, and free. Outlaw public schools and religious and single sex schools. I wouldn't last one day in political office LOL
