Parents 'choosing segregated schools'

By Julie Henry, Education Correspondent

Primary schools are becoming increasingly segregated because parents want their children to be educated with their own ethnic groups, new research has shown.

The study shows that the over-concentration of some ethnic groups in state schools cannot be explained by the social make-up of catchment areas alone. Instead, parents are actively choosing to segregate their children from other groups of pupils, sending them to predominately "black" or "Asian" schools.

Researchers from Bristol University who analysed more than 300 primaries in Birmingham found that from the age of four, children in some schools are being taught in near isolation from pupils of different racial backgrounds.

The study, which will be presented to a major conference on school segregation in London this week, supports the warning by Trevor Phillips in 2005 that the country is "sleepwalking to segregation". According to Mr Phillips, who was then chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, the creation of "fully-fledged ghettos" in the UK is leading to "chronic cultural conflict".

It will make uncomfortable reading for the Government whose response to the spectre of monocultural playgrounds has been little more than to direct schools to teach about diversity and provide opportunities for children to visit other schools with a different racial and religious make-up.

Of course this is in no way related to the problems associated with those unruly “youths” the UK has.

Aside from the usual motivations for culturally noninclusive folk to purposely isolate themselves, this will also serve a secondary benefit to the invaders of the UK.

When it comes time to start sending suicide bombers into the schools to kill children, they’ll be less likely to kill the larva of the faithful followers.

Leftists will be very surprised to learn that black parents don’t think that their kids get smarter when they’re sitting next to white kids.

And in Merry Olde England, "Asian" does not mean studious and education-centered Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.

It means Middle Easterners who come to England to riot, kill, and take over the country.

They are not "larva". They are children being taught evil.

Like goes with like. Even in “integrated schools” people self-segregate. Its called human nature.

No ma’am. I do not.

News flash. Times are going to get much harder before they get any better. You can leave yourself open to emotional manipulation or you can start working on some defensive calluses now.

The spawn of our enemy grow up to bring death and suffering to our own children.

Just an example of what’s ahead for us all.

Now, I’m sure I’ll get hit for this, but I’ll say it true. You take your moral equivalence weaksuck crap and have a good pout. Life if hard. And it is going to get much much harder before it all over.
