The Trojan Horse Affair - Religion in schools
Laurie Taylor asks if there was an attempt to Islamicise schools in Birmingham.
Laurie Taylor talks to John Holmwood, Professor of Sociology at the University of Birmingham and author of a new book which argues against the notion that there was a plot to Islamicise schools in Birmingham. Instead, he considers the teachers and pupils are victims of a false narrative. They're joined by Sukhwant Dhaliwal, one of the founders and Editorial Collective members of a new journal on gender and fundamentalism called Feminist Dissent, who considers some of the claims have foundation and raises issues about the role of religion in our educational system.
