UK: Sikh teacher forced out by Muslims for teaching British values

Dec 8, 2014 12:19 pm By Robert Spencer

Balwant-Bains-saltley-school2How many Muslim children in Britain are learning “British values” today? What are “British values” today, beyond appeasement and surrender, and ready acceptance of subjugation?

“Headteacher at ‘Trojan horse plot’ school claims he was pushed out by Muslim governors for giving children British values,” by Martin Robinson, Daily Mail, December 8, 2014:

A Sikh headteacher who ran a school at the centre of an alleged ‘Trojan Horse’ plot said today he was forced out because he was ‘giving children British values’.

Balwant Bains claims he had to leave Saltley School in Birmingham after suffering a campaign of ’emotional harassment’ spearheaded by Muslim governors.

Mr Bains, who was put on gardening leave and then decided to quit, opposed plans by Muslim governors to scrap sex education lessons and introduce only Halal meat, from animals killed in line with the Koran’s teachings, for school meals.

The headteacher, which helped his school get record GCSE results in 2013, says he was accused of Islamophobia and racism after he tried to discipline a Muslim pupil who threatened other students with a knife.

Speaking for the first time about his treatment Mr Bains said: ‘I suppose I was a threat, giving these children more British values, for them to be integrated into society.

‘It made me value education more, and because it is free in this country. I lifted myself out of poverty because of education. If I could do it, if I could break the cycle, other children could, too.’

He told the New York Times that if nothing changes after the Trojan Horse scandal ‘then it means anyone can just go in and destroy a school and get away with it.’

Mr Bains claims the chair of governors tried to undermine him after they fell out over the running of the school.

He claims every day for three months he had to justify his decisions, including mundane queries about why students had to walk on the right hand side of corridors and not the left.

He then put together a 300-page document explaining all other decisions, including his assembly messages and work on the school website.

Problems heightened when he expelled a Muslim boy for threatening other children with a knife.

But governors then reinstated the boy against the wishes of the head and Birmingham City Council.

He then did not suspend a white student over a weapon, and then a campaign calling for protests against his management was launched, where he was called ‘racist’ and Islamophobic.

A text, announcing a demonstration outside the school was sread around the local mosque and said: ‘Racist headteacher! Racist white staff! He suspends Muslim pupils and doesn’t suspend non-Muslims. He suspends not-guilty Muslim teachers and doesn’t suspend guilty non-Muslim teachers.

‘Are you going to let this racist Islamaphobic (sic) headteacher, Balwant Bains, get away with it? If you believe in justice and that everyone should be treated equally, join the demonstration.’

A few weeks after the demonstration in October last year, Mr Bains, of Sikh origin, was sent on ‘gardening leave’. Five non-Muslim governors at Saltley then resigned, leaving 12 of the 14 governors Muslim.

Governors asked the local council to investigate him. Eventually he reluctantly agreed to leave the school.

Soon after, a Muslim teacher was put in his place, who Mr Bains described as ‘the man they wanted two years ago’….

    It is time to officially name Great Britain as a Muslim nation. Allah be praised

      No, that is silly and the numbers say something totally different. But, as a whole give me the Sikh’s! Their ”values” are not diametrically opposed to British or Western Values. If they are in any manner, their first rule is When In Rome.

      Some of them may wear their turbans but in general;they do not force their religion onto people, nor do they expect to be treated any differently than anyone.

    “A Sikh headteacher who ran a school at the centre of an alleged ‘Trojan Horse’ plot said today he was forced out because he was ‘giving children British values’” – IN BRITAIN!!!! This is the sort of line you’d have expected to have heard some sort of far-fetched comedy show or film not so long back, a ridiculous joke but never reality! No-one could possibly be THAT stupid – you’d never have expected the sort knuckle-brained, deluded, arrogant, third-world-peasant bigot actually to exist for real, let alone think they could actually get away spouting this sort of impudent drivel and – even more outrageous – acting on it. The answer is simple. They don’t like ‘British values’, therefore they shouldn’t be considered qualified to remain British citizens and remain in the UK. So they decide where they actually fit in, go there and stay there. And if they won’t go under their own steam, rescind their British nationality and kick them out.

          Dec 8, 2014 at 4:12 pm

          Hello again noellsq. You’re being too pessimistic. What you see as ‘being bullied’ is actually the end result of a period of an attempt at systematic national-ego demolition perpetrated by certain elements in influential positions in the British establishment for reasons that I do not fully understand, although there has been a suggestion that a communist-inspired organisation called ‘Common Purpose’ is heavily implicated. The means that they have used include manipulation of the news through the controlled media (that means the national press and much of the local press, and, of course’ the BBC) and the agents of law-enforcement in order to achieve some kind of low-level brain-washing to control public opinion and impose their multi-cultural agenda. The problem here is that people in the UK still actually believe that the Press is ‘free’, although the BBC’s credibility is now in tatters in view of many (that’s a good sign!). The law enforcement agencies have used (abused?) ‘race-hate’ legislation to hound whistle-blowers, particularly where this involves criticism of islam. Examples of this involve the persecution of one Mr Nick Griffin (of the BNP) when he raised the issue of muslim paedophile abuse in Keighley, Yorkshire, over ten years ago, and there have been many other examples including the infamous instance of a minor politician being dragged through the courts for public quoting of Sir Winston Churchill’s criticism of Islam despite the fact that Churchill’s words have been freely available in print for decades. (A national newspaper reported this story and also quoted the same words but- surprise, surprise – nothing happened. The Authorities bravely decided to attack the ‘little man’ but equally bravely decided not to try that on a national newspaper!). The latest thing in this on-going farce has been the witch hunts against, and attempted destruction of, established celebrity figures (all white and well-established and liked by the population). The means here was to contrive ‘historic’ cases (dating back decades) of alleged sexual misdemeanours or low-level sexual ‘crimes’ for which there was never any hard evidence or proof, just hearsay evidence. Two of these celebrities were totally destroyed by this process, but cases against others blew up in the authorities’ faces. The curious thing about all these cases was that they were only brought to court (years after the alleged ‘offences’) at EXACTLY the same time the first muslim paedophile gangs were being brought before the courts for vile, sadistic and repulsive offences that made the celebrities’ misdemeanours (IF they occurred at all) look like adolescent adventures behind the bike shed. Smoke screen, anyone? Alarm bells should have been ringing in ‘high place’ when readers comments in national newspapers began commenting that all these cases were indeed beginning to look like an orchestrated witch hunt, but the message apparently didn’t get through at that time. One gets the impression, however, that this nasty charade may have been stopped in its tracks when they started (PREDICTABLY!!) to have a go at a REALLY Big Name (one very dubious allegation from years and years ago)strangely at EXACTLY that same time as the horrendous Rochdale story came out (1,400 girls seriously abused by muslims, with proof). The ‘Big Celebrity’ (who is also a devout Christian – what better target can you get?) had his flat turned over by the police under the watchful eye of BBC cameras in helicopters (now, had did THEY get there?) but apparently absolutely nothing was found. It gets better. Because of this particular celebrities high popularity there was a considerable public backlash against the BBC and the authorities and the Celebrity in question then started threatening court action against the BBC and the police, with a high-powered legal team. The details of the Rochdale atrocity were now out in the open, so no point in a smoke screen, so to cover their backs they started having a go at the authorities in Rochdale for negligence (although they were no doubt being ‘negligent’ under orders) with officials dutifully falling on their swords. Now, here’s the funny thing. The business with this latest Huge Celebrity has now gone very quiet!!! AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY HAS NOTICED!!! Now, there’s a saying that ‘certain people in high places’ clearly need to re-acquaint themselves with. That is, you can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool ALL the people ALL the time.

          Thank you for the education! It seems like the media is full of sh-t but i do not understand why. I am thankfully living on a farm in the middle of no where in the states. We all have rifles,shot guns and pistols.A lot of my neighbors only can afford or choose to eat only meat,fowl,or fish they catch or kill. Their are no Muslims around and most people belong to an christian church,I myself am an outsider but is excepted by all. Here in the states their is only news covered and inflamed by the media. Fox news channel is really the only real station to contact. The states is following behind Europe in their multi cultural experiment if people would assimilate,Muslims do not. It is strange and dangerous when a people set up their own rules within a country. G-d help us

    Doesn’t it ever occur to the powers that be that there is only one religion which does not mesh with “British values”? All the way from Sihks to Catholics to Judaism to Buhddism through to people with no religious beliefs at all — none have a problem with British values. Only ONE religion does. And that is Islam. A religion which is opposed to all the human rights and decency and tolerance which are the hallmarks of any modern, advanced country, and it says so right in their texts. Only Islam.

    The Muslim invasion of Britain is on track and going well. Unlike other immigrant communities, grateful for the chance of a new life, Muslims have no intention of adapting to and integrating into British society. They are bound by the tenets of their religion, to turn Britain into an exact copy of the Muslim shithole they ran away from.
    Thanks to the cooperation of the Dhimini politicians running Britain, the Muslims are succeeding where Atilla the Hun, Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler failed.
    Muslim “immigration” is the greatest threat Britain has faced since 1066——————-

    I think the Sikhs have lotto muscles in the UK, and they can stand up to any Islamic threat. This is not a Sikh issue but a general problem starting at the top of the UK society, that is their PM or Prince Charles down to the Civil Services.

    Unfortunately, UK is infested with Islamic views.

    My son in law is studying to be an electrical engineer on line. His history class is taught by a Muslim. The history was all about Islam. For extra credit he was offered a 4hour course about the life of Mohammed. Being a J.W. he decline. This is what we get in collage these days. Plus he knows that his mother in law thinks Islam is a rotten fruit.

      It reminds me of my English Comp 1 teacher I had. She was a muslima (muslim women ) from Afghanistan I remember coming into class hearing her talk glowingly about the Mujahideen. I was speechless.
