Milo is a martyr to the madness of ‘British values’
by Chris McGovern, The Conservative Woman:
In recent years, the Government has required schools to teach and promote “British values”. Those schools that fall short face a reprimand from Ofsted and are likely to be placed in ‘special measures’. Central to the “British values” agenda, according to Ofsted, is “mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and those without faith.” It was for this reason that, at the time of the Isis terrorist attack on Paris in November of last year, The Times Educational Supplement published a model lesson plan that asked children to imagine that they were members of Isis and to justify the massacre of innocent civilians. It was all in the cause of ‘fairness’ and pupils were directed to the Isis in-house online magazine and asked to remember the good things attached to being an Isis fighter, such as having white slave girls.
Hapless counter-terrorist ‘experts’ amongst the police, M15 and M16 appear clueless when it comes to understanding how young people are currently being radicalised in our schools. Being fair to all sides and understanding the point of view of people with different beliefs – the “British values” agenda – gives a green light to radicalisation. In our classrooms it goes along the lines of:
“This is the Washington perspective on Islamic State and this is the view from Raqqah. Now, “guys” (common classroom parlance in 2016) it is important that you respect both points of view. They are different but equal. We must all respect the British values of being fair to those with whom we may disagree. So, if you don’t like Obama, you should, at least, respect his right to have a point of view. The same goes for those of you who don’t really care for Islamic State. They must be respected, too, if you want to call yourself British and educated. Go for it! Be fair! Gimme five!”
