Secular education is under concerted attack from hardline Muslim activists.
Maintaining authority in the classroom is difficult at the best of times. But it’s even harder when schools are being turned into sites of political conflict. In recent years, many of these conflicts have involved Islamist activists and Muslim parents who wish to impose their cultural and political ethos on the classroom. Their aim is to refashion schools in their own image. Those who stand in the way often court the risk of being accused of Islamophobia.
Prior to Oct 7 much was made of the alliance between Muslims and Christians fighting to keep at bay the perverts embedded in our education system.
I hate to say I told you so, but I warned at the time to be careful what you wish for.
Maybe good will yet come of the alliance. Who knows.
