I must admit its getting harder for me to defend the government; things are going pear shaped for labour right now. Frankly, they seem inept. But there’s a huge difference between appearing inept, and actually being stupid. And CaMoron is stupid.
Read this: ”’I think this word segregation is pejorative and wrong,”’ he retorts, obviously annoyed. “I look at my own case, with my son, who needs a lot of special care, special attention and special services. It wouldn’t be possible to do all those things in a mainstream school.
”For him, a special school that has given the love, the attention, the therapy and the education he needs, has been an absolute godsend. I certainly don’t think my son is being segregated. I’m delighted he’s in a school that meets his needs.””
And this is the guy who would lead this country. This imbecile. Its called segregated education because that is precisely what it is – segregation. It is the separation of children on the basis of ability, and, rather than give our son love, sir, it has neglected him, educationally. I spent nigh on thirteen years in such a place; I saw what it did to me, and my friends. It betrayed us. I was told, aged 8, that I’d never do GCSEs by my head teacher. No doubt others were fed the same crap. I call that neither love, nor a godsend, so stop deluding yourself and do your son a goddamn favour. see it for what it is: abuse
At present, we have almost escaped segregation. And I will see to it that idiots like you never return us to such places.
