#1 Alternatively - many Muslims fail to integrate into British Society because their heads can't be removed from their arseholes, resulting in a demand for an entirely separate education system based on stone age values. Hey, I'm not Joooish, Joooish schools do exist, but Jooos have lived here for centuries - WTF make concessions to these pricks? Harumph.

#2 It seems they want the schools to teach religion. I sincerely hope what they are demanding won't happen but you just never know. If you want a religious education go to a religious school.

#3 How about "Muslim parents 'failing' Muslim kids". Do they want their kids integrated, well-adjusted and set to prosper in their chosen society, or do they want them bouncing, hate-filled retard-o-punks, and shuffling, mumbling little freaks-under-sheets? I believe it's a parent's right to screw-up their children how they see fit (within limits), but don't expect the rest of us to pay for it.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

(Philip Larkin)

#5 Blimey Anon1, you've got me all flustered! Glad you liked the poem. Thought it fitting...

#6 It was brilliant, (just like you), and fitting. I remember well the good old days of a couple of years ago, and you were a very good poster.

On the topic though, I was concerned where they said things like not having mixed sex-ed classes.

Fine, have segregated sex-ed classes but I suspect they would want to ban the girls from having any sex-ed classes at all, conservatism being the general tenor of traditional islam.

I hope there is some regulation that demands that certain fundamentals of curriculum (reading, writing (in english!), sex-ed, maths, a bit of history/geography/science etc) get taught in ALL schools including religious schools.

Can't have one segment of the population getting out of school not even knowing how babies are made.

#9 ..and the mother tongues of Muslim pupils should be taught more widely.

Bullshit. That's a parent's job. The job of a school in the UK is to educate a kid so that he/she can function in UK society, and should stay out of the foreign culture business.

#10 Title should be: "Muslims Can't Cut It in Western Society. Failure Starts In Schools"

#11 A group of academics and education experts said "institutional racism" was stopping more Muslim state schools from being set up. (I wonder if serving pork and providing mixed-sex education classes fit within their "institutional racism" accusation.)

There should be more research into and formal consultation with the Muslim community.... (Read--permission.)

She said: "There should be recognition of these schools which have been working for a long time and should be state funded, just like Jewish and Church of England schools." (Here is where the UK's problem's start...)

Kurshid Ahmed of the Commission for Racial Equality told BBC News that state school provision for Muslims could be improved, but warned that separate faith schools prevented integration. Right on, Kurshid!

"Schools and teachers must respect the different faiths and customs of all their pupils." Unless the schools and teachers are Muslim...

#12 ..and the mother tongues of Muslim pupils should be taught more widely.

Oh yeah right. I know of many countries where leftists have managed for child of immigrants getting teaching of their mothertongues. First result is that they don't learn to speak and write properly the tongue of the country, atr least not at the level you need for passing as a mildly educated person. Second result is that the day they leave school and go into the job circuit they are at a severe disadvantage for high level jobs. End result is that is the kids of the leftists who get the well paid jobs since the kids of immigrants cannot compete. How convenient.
