Plenty of critics of the Government's education reforms have latched on to the Trojan Horse plot in Birmingham as "proof" that granting schools more autonomy is dangerous. See this piece by Fiona Millar in the Guardian, for instance. The argument is that if you allow taxpayer-funded schools to break free of local authority control, it's inevitable that some of them will be taken over by extremists.
[A COMMENT] The Trojan Horse plot is an indictment of 40 years of successive governmental policies that were warned about as ALREADY divisive back in the 1980s by the proto-martyr of Political Correctness, Headmaster Ray Honeyford.
If he could see it happening then, when there were less than a million Muslims in the UK the fact that it has developed exactly as he said it would with a Muslim population that doubles every ten years (10 million by 2030, 20 million by 2040, a majority soon after the middle of the century) why do we STILL REFUSE TO SEE IT?
