Britain to sack teachers and assistants for 'propagating' extreme Islamist view in classrooms

A "Trojan Horse" plot in Birmingham was unearthed that had put schools under pressure illegally to segregate classrooms and change teaching to reflect radical Islamic beliefs.
UK's National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), the teachers' watchdog had confirmed "concerted Islamic efforts" to infiltrate at least six schools in Birmingham.
Ofsted also confirmed that its investigation had confirmed that attempts had been made to "alter their character in line with the Islamic faith", including side-lining parts of the curriculum and attempting to influence the appointment of Muslim staff.
Investigations are looking at allegations that an al-Qaeda style video was copied in one of the schools where teachers punished children by making them kneel on tiles.
As many as 50 teachers have also been identified for exchanging messages with homophobic content, offensive comments about British soldiers, claims that the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich was a hoax and discussion of segregating boys and girls.
Britain's home minister Theresa May recently called for tougher rules to tackle Islamic extremism in schools and asked why action was not taken sooner.
