Whats your view ?

No worries, can’t possibly be happening, racist overtones, blah blah blah.

Does anyone else always read :

Whats your view ?

As:

I’m not racist, but. Whats your view ?

I read it as:

Whats your view *insert a space for no real reason* ?

…but I think you’re way off. OP isn’t racist, it’s just the topic that came out of his topic tomobola. Could have been about cats, cars, bananas etc 8)

A www crap. And I’m all outta biscuits

What’s your view on the Christian schools that have recently been in offsted reports for much the same?

Pulls up pint 😉

It’s a question plain and simple !

I actually think faith schools are okay, if they are failing their pupils then obviously that has to be addressed.

Does that make me a racist then ?

Jamie you got it in one…here’s a virtual pint

Cheers !

I think we determined from the Lincolnshire village school not representing Islam enough thread it was PC gone mad ofsted lefty conspiracy I believe

I say embrace change, you can’t stop it.

I’ve grown a beard, and I’m learning the Quran. So I’m prepared for the revolution.

Embrace change? F*** T***!
Ban them obviously 🙂

I say embrace change, you can’t stop it.

Wanna bet?

I might have problems giving up beer though……….

Schools should be temples of learning ‘fact’ not what is believed to be. All faith schools of any kind including CofE should be banned and cease.

Whoaa, hang on a bit, don’t get silly!

It’s fine to study religion in schools as an anthropological academic pursuit but it’s not fine to inculcate students.

Populations are dynamic the history of humanity is one of migration and cultural mixing

These days we are mostly atheists and nominally c of e I suupose, once we were catholic, before that we had worshiped Jove, saturn and the gang, thor b4 that and who knows going back 100s of millennia till we were bashing out hand axes in a valley in etheopia

Fortunately education is a good antidote, I’m not going to live in fear of some tabloid hyped islamisation of the country

Ofsted are doing a good job, I’m sure we won’t all be wearing hijabs to go mtbing any time soon 😀

though I personally think faith schools of any type have no place in education and Tony Blair and now Cameron + Gove have made a big mistake with their accedemy and faith school drive, education is too important to be at the whim of commercial and religious influences

Muslim? Muslim muslim muslim. Muuuuuslim. Muslim, muslim, muslim-muslim. Muslim. Muslim MUSLIM! Muslim.

inculcate

A new word for me. Nice 🙂

There’s lots more if you need them.

From reading that article it doesn’t sound like ‘trouble brewing’, just heavy religious teaching that won’t equip the kids for life in the UK. Hopefully they get sorted out.

I think Ken Robinson has a point

Well worth watching 🙂

Faith schools of any type, no thanks.

Maybe OFSTED the government or the media need to actually define what they mean by radicalisation. Do they mean people actually will actually commit terrorist acts or do they mean that they are becoming more involved in Islam ie attending the mosque more frequently. There has to be a distinction but at the moment the lines are a bit blurred.

Maybe OFSTED the government or the media need to actually define what they mean by radicalisation.

The Media is definitely not capable of making that distinction. Here is an OFSTED report that says these schools are not performing adequately and the Media latches on to the most extreme possible point to get the numbers up.

Can’t we just skip all religion in school? I recently went to a full on religious funeral it is was just preachy crap with insert name of deceased here.
I left angry.

That horse bolted years ago in Tower Hamlets

Can’t we just skip all religion in school?

I think we would need to skip religion altogether then.

That Ken Robinson talk – one of the best talks I’ve ever watched and (coincidentally and apropos of possibly nothing) first shown to me by a Muslim. Ironically he was an engineer and wanted nothing more than for his kids to excel at mathematics 😉

Sir Ken raises desperately important points, and one of the unspoken subtexts is that we nearly all of us (to differing degrees) wish our children to be interested/adept in things that we ourselves prefer to do, rather than to explore their own full potential via their own unique interests. This is tied up with values, I think, we find value in our own pursuits – be they engineering, biking, religion or whatever – and obviously try and pass those values on via the gene pool, possibly thinning it with regards to creative potential both as individuals and as a species?
