Should Muslim clerics teach our children
MOVES to allow Muslim clerics into classrooms to address pupils were condemned yesterday.
The latest scheme put forward by Schools Secretary Ed Balls - inviting British-born imams into schools to speak about growing extremism among young people - has been greeted with derision.
Under the plans, the imams would teach citizenship so pupils learn about the Koran and Islam in the context of a multicultural society.
But critics have branded the proposals as unworkable and unnecessary, describing them as yet another workless Government gimmick.
So what do YOU think? Should imams be teaching our children about the Koran and Islam? Have your say now!
