In England, almost 2100 children are missing from school without explanation. Authorities believe that the children were subjects of forced marriage and have launched an education program to make kids aware that in a free country, they need not be forced (or, in many cases, sold) into such a thing. Part of that education program involved posters, like the one pictured here.
So far, so good. There’s a real problem with children being impressed into what amounts to a culturally-endorsed slavery and the British government was taking what I’d call a reasonable step to address it. Except that’s not where the story ends. Many teachers in schools where there is a documented problem with missing students have decided not to display the posters, because they believe the posters will offend parents. The article doesn’t specifically say which parents the posters will allegedly offend, but you can make a fairly educated guess that Muslim parents are one of the larger groups.
Which is great from the Muslims’ standpoint. They didn’t even have to make a peep to have their backwards practice tacitly endorsed by the British educational system. I suppose that’s what a few riots will get you these days.
Michelle Malkin and John Hawkins are also blogging about this today.
