Muslim School Will Not Allow Girls to Eat Lunch Until After Boys Have Finished... [UK]

A Muslim school will not allow girls to eat lunch until after boys have finished, an Ofsted chief has told MPs.

Al-Hijrah school in Birmingham is still segregating boys and girls despite a Court of Appeal ruling in 2017 that found it was unlawful, according to Luke Tryl, director of corporate strategy at Ofsted.

Addressing the women and equalities select committee, he said that Ofsted inspectors are trying to hold schools account for discriminating against girls but feel “isolated” when their stance is not backed up by ministers.

“Our inspectors are going out and having to make some quite tricky judgements where there are those potential clashes [between equalities laws and religious freedoms],” Mr Tryl said.

“We perhaps don’t always feel we get the support we need from the rest of Government in pushing that forward.”

He said that Al-Hijrah school was enforcing a “very strict gender segregation” which included “denying the girls to have their lunch until the boys had had theirs”. “And we had some very discriminatory texts for instance, encouraging violence against women,” he said.

Mr Tryl said that Ofsted welcomed the Court of Appeal's ruling that gender segregation within the school fell foul of equalities laws, but despite the case concluding in mid-2017 the school has still not de-segregated.

While Ofsted inspectors can highlight segregation in their reports, the power of enforcement falls to officials at the DfE.

FGM is occurring. So in honor killing. Lunch is the least of it.

That’s what you do with dogs to let them know you’re the boss.

Another reason we should not allow muslims in OUR country. They’ll be trying something like that here too. NO, we don’t need that kind of thinking in this country.

Ok, I think I know what you mean and I can not say you are wrong.

The comments should be based on the Bible and not lies and slander based on bias.

Seems like a fair policy and should be adopted by ALL public schools.

My Dad was a Mason and my Father-in-law was a Shriner. Not even a speck of Islam in either one. My Dad went to Heaven in rapturous glory thanking Jesus for his salvation to his last breath. I am not ignorant.

Masonry is pure Islam, no matter who was a mason. So is Mormonism. They are functionally identical.

(sorry if this hurts your soft parts!)
