Faith Schools

Recent reports highlight how a number of what appear predominately Muslim Faith schools have been criticised for biased teaching on the Middle East.

London Muslim has previously highlighted my concern about the educational achievement or lack of it concerning Muslim kids and I'm afraid these statistics may be driving Muslim parents to shun community schools for Faith schools some run by a bunch of nutters.

Let me once again be clear London Muslim opposes all Faith schools for the reasons I outline here where I also highlight the admission criteria of two Catholic schools. On the day when a Deputy Head tries to manipulate the system in order to get his daughters into another Catholic school we have a dangerous situation in West London where Catholic Schools far from as reported having Muslim majorities have virtually no Muslim representation.

We must be mad (Sorry Enoch) in abdicating our responsibility for educating kids by allowing religious outfits to perpetuate the divisions in society based on faith. West London Catholic schools are a wonderful case study in point and I'd be keen to hear from the Oratory, Larmenear and Sacred Heart how many Muslims if any attend their schools in an area with a huge Muslim population.
