Today I read socialist worker on this. Someone called Sadie Robinson contrived to fuddle her way thru the facts
regarding the issue where girls are made to sit at the back of the class. She had this to say,
"boys were seated near the front in maths lessons because girls were seen as less important.
Teachers have pointed out that boys were seated near the front in some lessons because they needed more help."
Given the circumstances this sounds like an overly keen acceptance of the culprit's excuses for segregation and is therefore nothing less than apology for discrimination against women. It is this form of ultra leftist knee jerking straightjacketed and dogmatic political
correctness, based on the premise that brown people can do no wrong ever, which alienates the left. Do they really think that being critical of backward religious practices of a foreign religion is tantamount to being racist? It's pathetic.
There is no mention of hounded out teachers, State school trips to a taliban run country or female ofsted staff being
openly disrespected for gender reasons. No mention of "If you don't pray you are worse than a kaffir", type doctrine that has been mentioned here, etc...
We are not talking about faith schools here, we are talking about state schools. I'm more disgusted with what's going on in these schools than with some tory arsehole trying to use it for his own agenda.
It's disgusting.
