South Lanarkshire council chiefs also launched an investigation into the sect’s eight-year involvement in the East Kilbride school. And they admitted that the group had infiltrated another school in the area whose pupils have learning difficulties. Unbeknown to many parents, several of the extremists worked as classroom assistants. They also helped with homework and performed other mainstream roles*
I find this astonishing. Why on earth has it been allowed to go on for 8 years? Those are children at a vulnerable age, and to prevent biased indoctrination, if they are being subjected to such extensive religious teaching, should cover a broad range of religions in equal measure.
For those who are unfamiliar with it, East Kilbride suffers extreme poverty and deprivation in some areas. I would have thought mainstream education offered the best way out of that. I hope the HeadTeacher is being disciplined for misconduct, as I cannot see how she is acting in the best interests of the pupils (as opposed to her own self interest).
