Government education inspectors in Britain have forced a Christian school to close after a young student was asked who are Muslims and replied that they are involved in terrorism. The true but politically incorrect answer was one of the reasons why the British government has labeled the school bigots and withdrew funding (“Christian School Forced to Close,” Brietbart.com, Jan. 21, 2015). Under new guidelines, inspectors rate schools on how they promote “British values.” Toward this end they nose around and ask individual students questions about their beliefs. The report on Durham Free School stated: “Leaders are failing to prepare students for life in modern Britain. Some students hold discriminatory views of other people who have different faiths, values or beliefs from themselves.” Another Christian school, Grindon Hall, has been placed in “special measures.” The fact that the school’s exam results are the best in the area is far less important to the inspectors than such essential matters as whether the students “knew what lesbians did, and whether their friends felt trapped in the wrong body.” As for preparing students for life, the Bible not only prepares students for life, it also prepares them for eternity, and secular schools are grossly inadequate to do either.
