To be fair, if it is school policy is it so very wrong?

My parents chose to send me to a school with a fairly lax school uniform policy. More disciplinarian mums and dads sent their kids to the ersatz grammar school on the other side of town where a skewed school tie would have resulted in detention.


Not sure I see the difference, especially as these are private schools. It seems they've only been criticised from a desire by muslim community leaders not to seem to be offending the nonmuslim locals, which says more about them than it does about the school's policy surely.

Nope.

We didnt have school ties, and thought the schools that did were anachronistic petit borgeouis institutions.


But the parents obviously didn't see it that way.


I may think similar thoughts about the veil, but these kids parents don't see it that way or they wouldn't be paying to send them there.


Unless you meant literally, in which case I suppose it depends on the width and length of the tie.

Dr Taj Hargey, an imam and chairman of the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford, said: "This is very disturbing and sets a dangerous precedent.

"It means that Muslim children are being brainwashed into thinking they must segregate and separate themselves from mainstream society.

"The use of taxpayers' money for such institutions should be absolutely opposed. The wearing of the burka or niqab is a tribal custom and these garments are not even mentioned in the Koran."


Quite a bit different to wearing a school tie as part of your uniform.


And


Explaining the school's ethos, Madani's website says: "If we oppose the lifestyle of the west then it does not seem sensible that the teachers and the system, which represents that lifestyle, should educate our children."


Then what are you doing here? Fuck off back to middle ages middle eastern values if that's what you want for you and your children.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
