Entire country postpones exams for few religious

[Frogguh]

Religion IMO shouldnt play a part in anything at all besides the things that happen in religious buildings such as churchs and temples, it should not even be taken into consideration when making rules or plans for anything at all. Religion to me is ridiculous, If i told people i believed in pixies and took it seriously, i would be put in psychiatric detention till they decided i was normal, but people saying they believe in some magic sky fairy AKA god or any form of it is considered OK, the world is very very odd.

And if your understanding of God and why people believe what they do, as well as the numerous arguments in support of God belief, can all be reduced to "some magic sky fairy", then either you seriously need to educate yourself or that psychiatric detention should be seriously considered. Only atheists say "magic sky fairy" or some other retarded non-description, not believers. Maybe you should consider the implications of what that says about you and your peers? (Hint: it isn't good)

You want to integrate your muslim immigrants, let them excel at school and such. This could perhaps help

Also there is a suggestion to have the test in the morning, since that would allow the muslims to not be completely starved.

How about they integrate by eating food whenever they want/need to?

Whilst 'muslims' aren't a race of people, 1st generation migrants tend to not have any problems with school and excel anyway.

Also they don't actually have to fast during Ramadan, they can do it another time during the year.

Another is for fasting Muslim students to be eligible for extra marks under ‘special consideration’

hahahahaha what

The National Union of Teachers said the allegations in the letter were evidence the government's free schools and academy policies were open to abuse.

A spokesman said "thousands of schools" had been taken over by minority interests, including businesses and other religions, since the policy was introduced.

The DfE said it was unable to comment on the circumstances of Mr White's departure from the school as it was more than 10 years ago.

Education Secretary Michael Gove said it was "vitally important" to "get to the bottom of the allegations".

He said: " In due course more action will be taken. It's important though that we take that action based on facts rather than rumour."

Mr Gove added an Ofsted report into one of the schools identified would be "published soon".

To get back on topic though.

A letter detailing the plan, known as "Operation Trojan Horse", claims responsibility for leadership changes at four schools.

These schools are Adderley Primary, Saltley School, Park View School and Regents Park Community Primary School.

Saltley's head teacher resigned last year after a critical Ofsted report.

Inspectors said there was a "dysfunctional" relationship between head teacher Balwant Bains and governors which was hindering the school.

When the parents have been identified, we start to turn them against the head teacher and leadership team”

A line in the letter
The letter, which purports to outline "Operation Trojan Horse", has subsequently been sent to at least another 12 schools in the city - all believed to be vulnerable to takeover.

It states that parents could be encouraged to turn against the leadership team if they are told the school is "corrupting their children with sex education, teaching about homosexuals, making their children pray Christian prayers and [carrying out] mixed swimming and sport".

Among various claims in the letter is one that the group has "caused a great amount of organised disruption in Birmingham and as a result we have our own academies and are on the way to getting rid of more head teachers and taking over their schools".

The head teachers of the schools met Birmingham City Council on Thursday to discuss their concerns.

The letter, seen by the BBC, was apparently written by someone in Birmingham to a contact in Bradford, and goes on to outline ways and means by which schools can be taken over.

It says: "We have an obligation to our children to fulfil our roles and ensure these schools are run on Islamic principles."

Last month an plot about undermining the secular nature of education in Britain was uncovered. So when talking about these problems people need to take into account the radicals behind a lot of these demands.
