Politically speaking is this integration or segregation?

Question

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/education/1577137/Muslim-schools-to-conduct-own-inspections.html

Answer 1

I am in favour of taking religion of all kinds out of the state and private schools.

Children should be taught about religious beliefs in their home environment, by their parents.

Answer 2

It shouldn't matter what a persons religion is, a secular education should be required of all citizens. They can practice their religion in church or place of religion.When they come to a western country, they should have to adopt the rules of that one.

Answer 3

I think this is just stupid Political Correctness taking over again for the stupid muslims that are taking over our Great Country. Why shouldnt they be inspected by OFSTED like everyone else!

Answer 4

It is self segregation - the Balkanisation of the UK.

Edit - The third answer with a link is a dodgy spyware link!

Answer 5

There's a simple answer.

Close all religious schools - state, public & private.  

Answer 6

Agree with some others here - what kids need in the UK is to be taught to read, write and add up properly (The 3 R's); not all sorts of other c**p. Keep religion out of education.

Answer 7

OFSTED does not have any juristiction over private schools, and most opt out of the pressure of OFSTED inspection.

So private Muslim schools operate in the same way as any other private school, but hey, it gives the Daily Torygraph an excuse to spread hate.

It's segregation - but only the same segregation as practised by Eton, Harrow, Westminster and the vast majority of private schools in UK. Segregation between the private and the state sector.

I'm with the answerer who suggested that religion has no place in our education system, and that all schools be removed from religious control, be it Muslim, RC, C of E, whatever.

EDIT: Telling the truth SELECTIVELY can be spreading hate. The gist of this article is that opting out of OFSTED is something private Muslim schools do. And it's true - they do.

But it doesn't make it clear that nearly ALL private schools, Muslim or otherwise, choose to have nothing to do with OFSTED.

It may be the truth, but it's not the whole truth.

Answer 8

Catholic and Jewish schools do this, always have, without seedy right wing newspapers harping on about it.

After all, the postman does not come when you ring for a Doctor, or policeman when you need a dentist, and the same applies here, with specialists doing a particular job.

The comments are racist and stupid, doing nothing whatsoever to encourage harmony.  

Answer 9

Integration is far better.

If they want to segregate their lives they are free to go back to the Middle Eastern country of their choice.

We start isolating ourselves it is far easier to breed hate.

Muslims need to get a grip the small percentage is take your religion of peace hostage.  They do need to stand up to them rather than protest a cartoon  I would have far more respect for them if they would give 1/100th the effort they display when they protest a cartoon or the fake story about the Quran being flushed as they do a beheading or a suicide bombing in their name.

Muslims who come here and expect us to conform our way of life to them but when we go there they don't extend the same courtesy.

This has nothing to do with race it all has to do with THEIR actions.
