Is there some kind of implication in the story that the white majority should help solve a problem caused by the choices of some minorities?

Those schools with more control over their admissions selected advantaged white, middle-class pupils who were more likely to succeed, he claimed.

Is there not a possibility this may be something to do with the governments own target setting agenda? Why would a school not take achieving pupils if they have to hit their targets?

Fecking govt need shooting the lot of them...

Much the same is happening in Denmark. Many parents, even really low paid ones, (examples I know: a hospital cleaner, a council gardener) are putting their kids into private education, and struggling to do it. So much so the government are offering to pay the private schools to take some of the "new-dane" children to try and balance things out.

The thing is when one family move their children out of the state schools the problems facing the remaining children increase, so their parents move them out, and unfortunately it's a downward spiral.

It's happening here with the private schools being leant on to accept the "new English" GGD's or peace lovers offspring.... all with the stick of withdrawl of charitable status if they don't comply.
Resentment is growing

Something parallel is happening with the idea of "bussing" in children from other areas, to prevent parents from buying houses in good schools' catchment areas.

Those schools are good precisely because of the families whose children go to them. So let's spread those good familes around.

Mr Johnson added: "If a Muslim child is educated in a school where the vast majority of other children are also Muslim, how can we expect him to work, live and interact with people from other cultures when he leaves school? This is a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode."

What a splendid analogy!

boom!

The government said schools were required to promote community cohesion.

The evidence suggests that people do not want multiculturalism. Whatever the politically correct might say.

With the government trying to force it on us, it is no wonder that the BNP are gaining ground.

Rivers of blood?
