The report found that the extremism went unchecked because the council “disastrously” prioritised community cohesion over “doing what is right”.

It concluded that there was a “determined effort” by “manipulative” governors to introduce “unacceptable” practices, “undermine” head teachers and deny students a broad and balanced education.

Sir Albert Bore, Birmingham’s leader, apologised for the council’s handling of the scandal.

He said: “The actions of a few, including some within the council, have undermined the reputation of our great city.

Oh, wait. Did I say “Christian”? Oops … I meant Islam

The inquiry commissioned by Birmingham City Council found evidence of religious extremism in 13 schools as school governors and teachers tried to promote and enforce radical Islamic values.

Schools put up posters warning children that if they didn’t pray they would “go to hell”, Christmas was cancelled and girls were taught that women who refused to have sex with their husbands would be “punished” by angels “from dusk to dawn”. […]

A detailed summary of evidence suggested that there was an attempt to introduce Sharia law at the Al-Fuqan school, and when a woman was recommended for a job on individual suggested a “man with a beard” was needed.

At the Golden Hillock School a teacher allegedly told children at an assembly “not to listen to Christians as they were all liars”. The incident was referred to counter-terrorism police. One teacher at the school also reportedly told children they were “lucky to be Muslims and not ignorant like Christians and Jews.”

Now why was this allowed to happen in the first place?

“We have previously shied away from tackling this problem out of a misguided fear of being accused of racism.”

Ah! Well, then — nevermind. Nothing to see. Move on, Religion of Pieces coming through.
