I heard about the case of a head mistress winning £400,000 last week, I didn't at the time take much notice of it, but reading the article in the Independent opened my eyes.
From the article it looks like our laws and bodies set up to help intergrate people are being used to cut a school off from it's LEA just so it can be made into a Islamic faith school. This is a joke, if not for the abuse the head got off the small minority of the local extremists. (I wonder which Iman pushed them to this or was it a want to draw a firebrand to the area ;););) ). This to me is where the injustice is the minority banning around terms such as
** Instead, it's the story of how a tiny minority used the fear of such conflict, and the terror inspired by phrases like "institutional racism" or "Commission for Racial Equality", to paralyse local government – and persuade the education system to abandon a gifted headteacher and her dedicated staff in their hour of need ** (Independent-Education, dated Monday April 6)
It forced the local government to invesitagate twice the school for racism and islamophobia. I think that would be far from the truth as it look like the school was building bridges between them.
I hope this is a wake up call for local government, but more likely they'll just roll over and go back to sleep.

Back Soon I think

I always knew you were clever, by accident I found your posted thoughts. Everything you have wrote I have to agree with. I am a Tory by my heart because of the opression of N. Ireland and all the conflict that was there. I shall take time to read all that is on here when I have time. Hope to be able to read so much more. From someone who apprecites what you write.
