Apologies that I can't link but has anyone else seen recent stories on the Al-Madinah school in derby.
Not only are female staff required to wear a headscarf regardless of religion and having their contracts changed to reflect this.
But female students are being forced to sit at the back of the class and have to give up their place in the dinner queue for male pupils.
Now I'm not what you would call an active feminist but I'm absolutely disgusted by this. A free and equal education for everyone regardless of sex, creed, race is one of the best things about this country IMO.
Does anyone know what powers the government have over free schools or can they basically do what they want?
