John, Look at the top echelons of politics, business, the civil service, the BBC, journalism, even comedy and you will see a world dominated by people who have been privately educated. We have probably regressed beyond the 19th Century in terms of how what you earn and what your position in society is determined by who your parents are. This is a major long term inequity which is not the sign of a healthy society. However, given the hard reality of the way our education system operates you should not blame parents like Dan Murphy for going for the option which significantly increases the life chances of his little darlings. There should however be a recognition that this is an unfair and privileged position. From such a vantage it is clearly not appropriate to become a frothing-at-the-mouth ideologue accusing parents who happen to choose a particular section of the state system as child abusers simply because you don't like what they believe. Part of the effort to increase social mobility again should be to encourage and expand the parts of the state education system that work rather than to close them down. So many public school educated ideologues from the left are so hostile to our best performing state schools that you do wonder are they sub-consciously trying to sustain the advantages they enjoyed to the next generation. On the 'Trojan Horse' question, I applaud Iftikhar for making a classical allusion, defend his usage on the basis that the horse passed into the ownership of the Trojans and say, if you really want to be pedantic, that you should not really describe them as Greeks but Danaans in this context. |
