A banned school governor who was found to have undermined British values has relaunched a controversial Muslim parents’ group and is holding seminars on sex education, The Times has learnt.
Tahir Alam, who was banned from any involvement in schools after the so-called Trojan horse scandal, has revived the Muslim Parents Association, which had been wound up following the alleged plot to impose Islamist values on schools in Birmingham.
In a move that critics said was an attempt to hijack the row over LGBT teaching in schools, Mr Alam last week hosted the first monthly seminar on relationship and sex education in Birmingham.
A leaflet for the event said that parents would be provided with advice, support and training and it would discuss their rights and the Islamic perspective on the issue, which has been the source of protests outside primary schools in recent months. [The Times (£)] Read more
