re: #67 Killgore Trout

Your BBC article is out of date. 3 new schools added to the investigation bringing the total to 21.
Trojan Horse: Ofsted to inspect three more Birmingham schools as probe widens

This article also has the Prime Minister’s quote.

I’m well aware that my article is older, however it says that there were “serious concerns” in only half of the original 12 schools. There is a difference between “concerns” and “inspections” and actual wrongdoing.

Why is no one leaking a copy of the text of the “damning letter” allegedly written by the chief inspector, Wilshaw, that is supposed to accompany the “emergency” inspection reports?

At present, the whole thing is about allegations made in an anonymous “leaked” letter sent last year, and additional reports have been mostly by (as yet) unnamed individuals:

The inquiry has become known as Trojan Horse because this was the name of a plan for an organised take over of schools in an anonymous letter.

It has not been established whether the letter is authentic or a hoax.

The Department for Education, in a statement this weekend, said investigations into the “very serious” allegations must be “carried out impartially, without pre-judgement” and as such it would be “inappropriate to comment further”.

You’ll just have to excuse me if all the hyperbole and ZOMG-Trojan-Horse-Creeping-Sharia hysteria generated in the media doesn’t move me after what I’ve seen here in the U.S.

I’m going to wait for the report in June. In the meantime, if the BBC goes into hair-on-fire panic mode then I might get concerned, however since they haven’t posted any updates on the story lately I assume British Christendom is safe for now. //
