The UK’s targeting of homeschooling is about promoting the British government’s vision of “multiculturalism,” “tolerance,” “diversity” and the hijrah. It has nothing to do with fighting against the inculcation of the jihad ideology or the teaching of the aspects of sharia that contradict Western principles, although that was the impetus for the crackdown.
Requirements that educators promote “British values” defined as “tolerance and respect for others”, and “prepare children for life in modern Britain” have caused some contention, with critics warning that the latter category is being used to penalise schools in rural areas which have been insufficiently ‘enriched’ with ethnic minority pupils.
If Britain was genuinely concerned about the spread of “extremism,” it would crack down instead on madrassas and conduct surveillance on mosques. Instead, it is trampling the rights of Britons who are concerned about state indoctrination of their children with the “new” British value system, which is an odd combination of far-left and sharia values.
Britain already has over 85 sharia courts, and TheCityUK — which represents Britain’s banks and financial institutions — has already been urging the government to legally prioritize Islamic banking ahead of Brexit. The UK also intends to keep up the massive Muslim migrant influx post-Brexit.
Last year, a Jewish school was targeted for failing to adhere to the new British values:
a private Jewish school teaching girls up to the age of eight failed its third inspection for denying pupils “a full understanding of fundamental British values” by failing to teach about homosexuality and gender reassignment.
The UK will continue to trample upon the rights of its citizens as it cracks down on free speech and targets the right of Christian and Jewish parents to teach their children about personal values and freedoms — but it will continue to allow the increasing influence of the sharia.
Tens of Christian schools have been downgraded as a result of the new rules…Education Secretary Nicky Morgan…claimed such schools deny children “the opportunity to flourish in a modern multicultural Britain”.
“Government to Crack Down on Homeschooling over ‘Extremism’ Fears,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, April 11, 2018:
The government is set to crack down on homeschooling amidst concerns that some out-of-school education settings are failing to promote its liberal definition of “British values”.
Parents who want to homeschool their children could be forced to register with local authorities and be made subject to inspection, according to a government report published Tuesday raising the prospect of prosecution for families which failed to comply.
Seeking views over the next 12 weeks with regards to strengthening regulation around homeschooling, the consultation was launched as part of the government’s “Counter-Extremism strategy to enable intervention in out of school settings”.
Under the proposed regulatory system, any family taking their child out of mainstream schooling in the UK would have to explain their decision and demonstrate that children were being given an appropriate education at home.
The government’s move to crack down on homeschooling comes after schools watchdog Ofsted described the fact that local authorities have no right to investigate whether children are being home-educated as a “loophole” which is exploited by Islamic extremists….
Along with issues such as unsafe premises and inappropriate forms of punishment, the report raised concern over the prospect that children would receive “inadequate preparation … for life in modern Britain” in out-of-school education settings.
Requirements that educators promote “British values” defined as “tolerance and respect for others”, and “prepare children for life in modern Britain” have caused some contention, with critics warning that the latter category is being used to penalise schools in rural areas which have been insufficiently ‘enriched’ with ethnic minority pupils.
Tens of Christian schools have been downgraded as a result of the new rules, which were conceived by neoliberal former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan who claimed such schools deny children “the opportunity to flourish in a modern multicultural Britain”.
Both requirements demand the promotion of LGBT lifestyles and that children be exposed to positive portrayals of homosexual relationships and transgender individuals from an early age, while Morgan has alleged that homophobic views are a sign of “radicalisation”.
Last year, a private Jewish school teaching girls up to the age of eight failed its third inspection for denying pupils “a full understanding of fundamental British values” by failing to teach about homosexuality and gender reassignment.

the UK is doomed.

I have a hard time seeing it getting much worse. It is a shithole already: sharia enforced, citizenry disarmed, freedoms destroyed.
Lydia Church says
You see?
It is the Christian schools that are the target!
And Jewish, so I should say JudeoChristian.
They want muslims everywhere.
And Christians will NOT promote the sin of LGBT or the false religion of islam or any other religion, or the multiculturalism of sharia and FGM!
Yup, it’s coming…
Lydia Church says
As I said, ‘WE’ are their ‘extremists’ because we don’t comply with the common ground melting pot of all things sinful and false, we don’t embrace their ‘unity’, and in the end, they are coming for us.

Woe indeed. Ideas have consequences, Darwinistas.
Asally says
This is terrible, but I am far less concerned about the British (after all, this is their country and their government and only they can fix it – maybe a general strike?) than I am about America, which seems to be following in Europe’s path. We need to nip this crap in the bud right here at home, and the way to do this is to stop immigration. We do not need more manpower. We have no use for immigrants in America. From now on we should vet immigrants on a case-by-case basis and make sure that none who come here are Muslim. Those we have here now must not expect any special status, but live under American law – not Sharia. What has happened in Britain and to their culture is the natural and inevitable result of turning on their own culture. Let’s do things differently here. Get all “gender” and sex education OUT of our schools, as well as Islamic indoctrination. Rid our businesses and our airports of Islamic footbaths and prayer rooms. This we do not need. And neither do they if they have come here. If they need these special cultural effects let them stay in the Middle East and Africa and Asia, where they are at home and comfortable with extreme fundamentalism. BETTER YET -if they don’t like it there let them change it to something they do like. That is their business. There should be no more refugees – just champions of freedom in their own lands. We should make an exception for any bona fide non-Muslim refugees – they DO have cause to leave.

Cicero says
I very much doubt it
Anne Smith says
This is the key element of what is happening in Britain. It is similar to the treatment of the kulaks under Stalin, they were independent family units, mainly farmers, who were self reliant and took care of their own. Stalin sent most of them to prison camps in Siberia and exterminated them. The first priority of a communist government is to replace parental care and nurture by state intervention and direction.
Theresa May is no more Conservative than Stalin was, she is Labour Lite and pink throughout. Left wing doctrine is being introduced through all state schools and colleges and in most educational establishments these days.
The shield that is being waved to legitimise the removal of home schooling is the threat of extremism (the Gov reckons that right wing extremism is as much of a danger as Muslim extremism – according to Max Hill QC the Independent Reviewer of Legislation) but in reality it means that unpopular doctrines which parents do not like, such as transgender teaching for primary school children will be enforced on them in a state school and parents will be removed from the equation.
Fewer and fewer parents can afford private education these days so the Government is getting its way.
Cicero says
Yes Friday in schools is officially designated as Mufti Day
Who decided this . What purpose does it serve ? Mufti is an Arabic word.
Why not call it Dress down Day or Casual day.
No the depp State has designated it Mufti day. So are non Muslim British children being softened up and dhimmified.
Jayell says
According to a recent UK report, an increasing number of muslims in the UK have been taking their children out of State schools (or maybe even private ones?) and teaching them at home because the other pupils are being ‘nasty’ to them and calling them ‘terrorists’ and possibly even ‘paedophiles’, which is apparently making them very upset. Now, children are known for being less than diplomatic, and I certainly would never say such things to muslims myself even though there is plenty of evidence that these epithets might actually accurately describe more than a few of the ‘nice’, ‘respectable’ disciples of the Great Prophet that one has the pleasure of meeting rather more often than one might like these days. However, the old proverb “Out of the mouths of babes……” comes to mind. Which might explain the apparent hypersensitivity of the muslim children and parents in this case, ostensibly as typical of the muslim community as the average failed confidence trickster.
Bill says
The crackdown on homeschooling is not going to be applied to Muslims. It is only going to be applied to Christians. This is another example of how England has already adopted Sharia law and Islamic practices in fact, dispensing with any debate or electoral approval.
I do not believe that any English authorities are going into any no go zones to check up on muslims that home school their children.
If I am not correct in this assumption, please convince me otherwise.
mummymovie says
This was my first thought.
The “authorities” are saying that this oversight will apply equally across the board, and apparently have made statements to that effect.
But from my understanding, muslims are busy taking advantage of the free goodies -including schooling- offered in the West, not avoiding them, right? Moslem kids are running rampant in schools, while native citizens, in efforts to protect their children from indoctrination and/or bullying, may be trying to school them at home?
I guess this is basically the gist of this weird article? Seems awfully fishy to me.
The British government is going in circles with these policies and announcements about “cracking down on extremism”. Just when you are starting to think they might be getting serious about it from their official statements -just as in France lately- this kind of stuff reveals the truth; that it is just more lip service and bullsh*t intended to give people the impression they are doing something about the big problems, Islam, muslim immigration, migrant influx and sharia law; when in reality they have no intention of doing anything, but getting themselves re-elected.
mummymovie says
-and of course, gently preparing the native British population for the coming scourge of muslims and with it the unveiling of the new Dark Ages.
Lydia Church says
“cracking down on extremism” is code for “coming for the Christians who don’t compromise”
it LOOKS like they are coming for terrorists like jihadists, but they are really coming for
counter-terrorists!
Anyway, I’m one of the ones who doesn’t and won’t compromise.
Anne Smith says
Yes it is all lip service – or as they call it in this country SPIN. Most politicians do absolutely nothing but release lots of press releases about what they are going to do and the subsequent press coverage soothes the populace in siting back and assuming it is being done. Of course it isn’t.
We have government by Spin and PR these days, nothing else. No principles, no ethos, no abiding by manifestos, just a vacuous load of tosh presided over by the arch do nothing – one Theresa May.
brane pilot says
Western governments see Islam and Muslims as a tool with which to strip the native population of their Constitutional freedoms. The end game is that of a Totalitarian State with absolute power to reward those who bribe it, and crush enemies.
This is much like the way American Indian tribes centuries ago attempted to use invading European settlers in gambits to gain advantage over other Indian tribes in local turf wars.
We know how that turned out. The result will be similar.
Cicero says
Yes where is the Native American in the American National Discourse?
No Muzzies Here says
Brits have even fewer freedoms than Americans. The freedom to home school is the freedom to avoid government mind control. The government doesn’t like it when the people start to think for themselves, and won’t submit to oppression by the people they trusted and elected.

Just look at the face of these smiling/happy kids and mom, take that away and replace it with a Scare Burqas in the INFESTED madrasas

GLEICHSCHALTUNG is the denial of the FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE.
Gleichschaltung was a process of Nazification that was implemented between 1933 and 1934.
Everyone was forced under threats to openly adhere to Nazi-think. Anyone who did not, lost their livelihoods.
GLEICHSCHALTUNG was a complete denial of the FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE.
BIG BROTHER SAYS YOU’VE HAD TOO MUCH TO THINK.

Thank you for the history Mortimer. I hate it when the Nazi past looks like the future.

Clearly, Big Brother does not want “intellectual” diversity – the ability of individuals to think for themselves.
Peter says
S C H A U K L A P P E N M E N T A L I T A E T – blinders (think horses) mentality or mindset.
Lydia Church says
Yes, that is one of many facets of the nazi past and future.
Grimly.
I’m sure all have seen the photos of the masses all doing the ‘heil hitler’ salute?
It took a real rebel (like me) to resist that sort of thing!
That is their goal again.
And I’m ready to resist.
As it says in Esther; ‘For such a time as this.’
Sometimes I feel that it is my calling in life!
Resist, wake the people up, warn, and get them ready to stand up like me and say ‘No! I will NOT!’
It’s not really that hard. You just need a sense of virtue and a hatred of evil.

TheBuffster says
JM, in many cases that teaching doesn’t stick. I’m thinking of all the former Muslims I’ve read and listened to over the past few years.
I know too many people who believe something very different from the indoctrination they got as children. Critical thinking often kicks in as kids become adults.
Cicero says
This strongly applies to the ideology of Islam

Ashley says
Last year, a private Jewish school teaching girls up to the age of eight failed its third inspection for denying pupils “a full understanding of fundamental British values” by failing to teach about homosexuality and gender reassignment.
__________________________
I’m not sure I would want my eight year old daughter educated on homosexuality and gender reassignment. She’s only eight. If she was curious about such issues I would try my best to address her questions but I don’t think I should be REQUIRED to bring up such subjects to my eight year old.
I have only one qualm with homeschooling…isolation. I had an adult friend who was homeschooled. When she wasn’t being raped by her stepfather or fixing her alcoholic mother cocktails she spent her days watching television. Neighbors didn’t even know she existed. She was kept at home to conceal the abuse.. She had never been to a doctor, dentist, library. She became anorexic. She hung herself at age 52.
Losing my friend sort of turned me off to the homeschooling scene. But I refuse to throw the baby out with the bath water. I just want to know that homeschooled children are regularly monitored. I want to know if they are progressing in their education. I want to know if they are safe, healthy and thriving.
Michael says
You have a good point, Ashley. I have seen mixed results with home schooling. When it’s done right, I think it is most beneficial when the children are very young. Then at a later age, they could be far, far ahead of their age-group in basic abilities and knowledge, and their parental values have a firmer basis. In later years, it’s hard for the home to keep up with the opportunities at school, i.e. the laboratories, the bands and choirs, the sports possibilities, the plays, chess clubs, computer training, etc.
A major drawback is, of course, the indoctrination of skewed values and perspectives by arrogant, misguided, and in some cases depraved teachers who care more about legitimizing their own sexual proclivities and/or ideologies than they do about children’s well-being. Unfortunately there are far too many of them.
jack cade says
There have been no homeschool shootings for quite a while. That’s a plus.
Ashley says

No shootings, but depravity run amok.
Lydia Church says
The lgbt indoctrination agenda is going global and CA is no exception.
You CANNOT participate in this as a Christian in any way!
If you are single, now is not the time to start that family.
You’ll thank me later.

The purpose of marriage is for starting and raising a family with the aim of perpetuating society and its values. For Christians it is Christian values, for Jewishnpeople it Judaic values, for Muslims it is…..
No wait …
Arthur says
It is very unfortunate what happened to your friend. Freedom brings the risk that some people will act wrongly. My guess is that the parents were never punished for their abuse. To me, the failure to punish people when the wrongdoing is finally found out must be the greatest failing of society.
JM says
“It takes a village to raise a child.” Hillary Clinton used this African saying for her book “It Takes a Village”.
Hey, isn’t that cultural appropriation, Hillary?
Be that as it may, the Progressives have something else in mind for children, where the facade counts, not the totalitarian brainwashing that takes place. Truth in advertising laws should compel the Leftists to rename their motto: “It takes a Potemkin village to raise a child.”
jack cade says
Not to worry; Hitler banned homeschooling and that worked out fine.
Lydia Church says

An 8 yo? To teach them about homosexuality and transgender is sick.

Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I’ve noticed a bizarre trend among school age children: many, but certainly not all, will fain bisexuality even when they are completely heterosexual.
A strange side-effect from the constant pumbling these students receive of the message that just about everything is to be tolerated and unconditional accepted, I think.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling_international_status_and_statistics
If you look over this table, you will find an interesting correlation between homeschooling being controlled or banned, and the state being totalitarian or strongly socialist. This makes sense. Nothing is more socialist and totalitarian than the state getting between parents and their children.
Banning homeschooling a clear sign that the state wants uniformity of thought and opinion, and wants to control both.
I wonder who will be the first wikipedia-er to change the “UK” column?
Cicero says
Western Capitalism has to change or there is going to be annihilation of Western CiviliZation Western population is fast falling due to the atmosphere of boom bust boom bust which is causing a lot of break up of families and even working people unable to afford children. The same is happening inJapan where workers are dropping dead at their desks and Japanese men are having sex with dolls and Japanese women do not want the slavery of Japanese marriage.
But never mind the deep state rulers are not worried with the dance of robotics such a mass of humankind is really redundant and not needed.
Shiver me timbers!
