Why?

[Gromit]

Muslims prefer segregated Education. So an all gorls achool in the area will have a lot of muslim girls. A nearby comprehensive school will have hardly any.

But don't let hat simple fact put you off ypur agenda.

[ToraToraTora]

I think trt was referring to how most of them were in what looks pretty close to burkas. They live in UK FF5!

[bazwillrun]

and what agenda would that be then ?

[bazwillrun]

Its sickening to think that is the future for this country

[Gromit]

As well as Girl Guides and Duke of Edinburgh schemes, the school participate in Model UN which will be why it was chosen for the Obama visit.

I don't often agree with the French but they have the right idea with all this old pony. They should have a standard school uniform, end of.

Perhaps not Muslim girls, but it won't have a true English look, you can bet..

I too thought that trt when I saw the pictures !

[anotheoldgit]

I wonder why she chose to visit a Muslim school?

[hc4361]

No burqas in any of those photos, every girl is showing her face, many are wearing a hijab, which is just a headscarf.

[anotheoldgit]

Seems I have found the answer to my question.

/// Girls faced obstacles to education such as forced marriages, early pregnancies, abuse and sexism, she said. ///

Racist Fuel!

[hc4361]

I'm impressed with that school's aims, objectives and policies.

Part of the ethos:

British Values

Students make a positive contribution to their own community, to British society and to global well-being and are proud to recognise British values. Whilst we promote learning in these areas as shown in the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development Policy across the curriculum it is also evident in our Extended Learning programmes which include Model UN, Girl Guides and The Duke of Edinburgh Award. For more information please see our Extended Learning section of the website.

Yep, what a joke our (well it's not ours anymore) has become.

[hc4361]

AOG, it certainly is not a Muslim school

) Religion and Beliefs
The freedom to choose and live within a faith, and tolerance of a wide diversity of religious faiths as well as having no faith, is important to the culture of the school. Curriculum opportunities will be provided to inform and celebrate faith-related events and beliefs. No faith will take precedence, and
all instances of religious intolerance will be addressed by the school with the intention of creating opportunities for peaceful negotiation and dialogue.

[Bazile]

Yes , what a disgrace !!

Not a single black face

[youngmafbog]

Black people have been, by and large, removed from East London. Need to go to the South for that.

/// U.S. First Lady is at Mulberry School for Girls as part of campaign to make girls' education 'URGENT economic issue' ///

/// Prince Harry welcomed Mrs Obama, her daughters and her mother, for tea at Kensington Palace this morning ///

Nice to see that she is looking after her 'URGENT ISSUES' first.
