Children were taught that all Christians are liars and attempts were made to introduce Sharia law in classrooms as part of an alleged 'Trojan Horse' takeover plot of Birmingham schools, an inquiry has found.
The inquiry commissioned by Birmingham City Council found evidence of religious extremism in 13 schools as school governors and teachers tried to promote and enforce radical Islamic values.
The report found that the extremism went unchecked because the council "disastrously" prioritised community cohesion over "doing what is right".
It concluded that there was a "determined effort" by "manipulative" governors to introduce "unacceptable" practices, "undermine" head teachers and deny students a broad and balanced education.
Sir Albert Bore, Birmingham's leader, apologised for the council's handling of the scandal.
"We have previously shied away from tackling this problem out of a misguided fear of being accused of racism."
A separate review by Peter Clarke, the former counter-terrorism chief, found evidence of "co-ordinated, deliberate and sustained" attempts to introduce an "intolerant and aggressive Islamic ethos" in schools.
At the Golden Hillock School a teacher allegedly told children at an assembley "not to listen to Christians as they were all liars". One teacher at the school also reportedly told children they were "lucky to be Muslims and not ignorant like Christians and Jews."
At Nansen School the study of French was replaced by the study of Arabic and Islamic religious assemblies were reinstated.
At the Oldknow academy, children were told at an assembly that they should not send Christmas cards and that Mary was not the mother of Jesus. Children were asked whether they believed in Christmas and encouraged to chant "no we don't".

“We have previously (and sheepishly I might add) shied away from tackling this problem out of a misguided fear of being accused of racism.”
This might be the regretful mantra of a lot of stoopid coexist folks here in the US sooner than later.
In reality Islam is a socio-political system masquerading as a religion, and deserves no First Amendment protections.
