No radicalisation or violent extremism in schools, says Education Secretary

Secretary of State for Education, Nicky Morgan, has watered down the findings of former national head of counter terrorism’s investigation into extremism at Birmingham schools as a “spectrum of behaviours.”
For the first time Morgan clarified that there was “no evidence of radicalisation or terrorism or violent extremism” despite five schools with mainly Muslim pupils in the city were placed in special measures following media and politicians campaign against these schools.
In an exclusive interview with The Muslim News Editor, Ahmed J Versi, she said she was not aware there would be other investigations on the scale of Birmingham and acceded that she would also consider including Islamophobia as part Key Stages 2, 3 & 4 Personal, Social, Health & Citizenship Education.
The controversial investigation into what was dubbed a Trojan Horse conspiracy began with claims led by former Education Secretary, Michael Gove, of on an organised takeover of state schools by “jihadists” before the debate moved onto “extremists” then directed against “conservative” Muslims and a now focus is on a need to promote fundamental British values.
“What Peter Clark’s report had found was that there was no evidence of radicalisation or terrorism or violent extremism in the schools in Birmingham, but there were examples, I think he called it a ‘concerted attempt’, by a small number of people, to follow a particular ideology, or an extremist ideology”, Morgan said.

Very interesting and disappointing the main media fail to report this.
Though I think any school that teaches and defines it school by religion has no place today in a modern society, because they teach with bias to that religion, when it should be nothing more that a subject taught.
In my view Creationism no matter the faith, should not be taught as a science, but under religion itself. All schools should be secular, with religion as a subject, but am glad to see here much of what is claimed in regards to the schools is very much unfounded.

And that's the problem with all the mainstream media outlets sensatinalising the news. The focussed on terror and extremism because that's what sells.

By taking the focus off the legitimate concerns of non Muslim parents in these schools (frankly, religious bullying), they now allow the perpetrators (Muslim governors, etc) to continue.

Something we agree on Zack and that deserves a thanks.
What I find wrong with the media, they are quick to sensationalize, yet retreat away from admitting they were wrong.
