InspiredHeart: "This is a civilisational failure!" – Britain's Strictest Headmistress Katharine Birbalsingh [ARC26] ..... ARC .... Alliance for Responsible Citizenship and Strictly Education with Katharine Birbalsingh .....////// Okay, this lady is head of a large secondary school, not far from me, in Wembley, North London. The school, interestingly is called Michaela. So, I often pass by it on the train, but don't know much about it. My neighbour's daughter however, works there, and we sometimes chat about the school, I am interested... the head does not allow prayers rooms for any religion. In a heavily populated area where religions have become more than people's identity, she maintains strict policy, to not let that (i.e. religion) affect, intimidate or engineer ideology that takes away from someone's education or chances in life. A very strict school, which would probably be considered the norm, back in the day, And the school is heavily subscribed to with long waiting lists, from London populations, which are, lets face it, top heavy with muslim family candidates...But the fact is, the school is a major Non Faith-school "success story" for normal London school kids...... Me, I went to a catholic faith school, which, back in the day, was considered not only ODD, but strict, and which was desired by immigrants wanting their children to attend, by-passing the normal secondary schools that were accessed by the usual routes to secondary schools. Faith schools were always considered VERY different to the normal English secondary schools of the day ( Faith schools then would be equivalent to the normal non-paying grammar schools of the day- )...So, bit by bit, there was fusion as immigrant parents (many non-catholic) but either of a Christian style faith, or just of a tiger parenting style (e.g. China, Nigeria) were happy to achieve attendance at these faith schools for their child...Even taking on baptism for their child if need be... Certain social engineering and lifestyle nuances, for various reasons, believed in the strictness of a school set within the chaos of a multicultural London, or the diverse social spider-web that London remains landed with. I am posting this speech, because I was amazed at the almost brutal honesty that we see in this speech, in direct contrast and opposition to the social engineering of 'Wokeness' (that filters from top-down experimental ideology designed to 'put the boot in' and that which results in this 'latest' version of the crazies ....infiltrating our school systems, and that is blinkering our students from any deep down knowledge, let alone develop abilities to acquire the necessary skills and talents that encourage people to challenge and reflect on their own thought processes. Whatever is in place at any given time... will be the force that is producing the effect, the 'educated' children and students that will be citizens of the future....The oldies but goldies of now, are few and far between. Most of our old ones, targetted and medicated from their 60's (its all down to what was ingested, medicated with and food, bread, i would suggest), have been carted off in 'dementia' mobiles to care homes, to be cared for and removed from the carefully curated, socially acceptable areas where NO one is old enough to remember the times before "wokeness"...Michaela.
