"Michael Gove calls for faith pupil limit in Bradford school"

From the BBC:

The Education Secretary Michael Gove has suggested a proposed new school should limit its intake to 50% Muslim pupils.

The proposed secondary school is in Manningham, the constituency of Respect MP George Galloway, who wrote to him about the issue. Mr Gove said he would welcome a cap.

A few years ago, the Muslim Council of Britain fought attempts by Labour to open up new schools in Oldham and Bradford to the wider population.

Obviously I'd like religious freedom without the effing secularists banning this and that but in the case of Islam, there's a prima facie case on their demonstrated behaviour.

Do the members of the MCB and the people they represent pay for these schools? If so, they can have who they like in them. If not, and it's us taxpayers paying they can f**k off.

Another argument for education vouchers.

Saying what school you can and can't go to based on what you look like or what god you follow is apartheid isn't it?

James - there aren't any religions that come out whiter than white in the wash.
