Seriously, you couldn't make this stuff up

You seem to have slightly embroidered the story in your headline, Paul, since it's not actually been banned, has it, with it still being on sale and everything? True, it's a Government agency acting in a phenomenally stupid way, but that's hardly surprising given the way people are appointed to them.
If there's a single sensible Muslim who applauds this I'd like to see them*. I suspect, like the saafster, they'll roll their eyes up and think 'bloody idiots'. As indeed will virtually everyone else. It's not like their writ runs to banning it from schools or that anyone's going to take it as a cue to start banning it from schools.
In case anyone's looking for a copy, here you are, but they might want to sort out the pricing. Geared to schools at the moment.

Now for some real discrimination:

Shocking. I'll be joining them in solidarity just as soon as I can persuade my girlfriend to adopt a BDSM lifestyle (she can do the 'S' part already, she whacked me in the eye when I suggested it).
* The type of Muslim who would applaud Becta's decision would, I suspect, not be happy with it being on sale full stop, or indeed quite a lot of other things being on sale. It's not like the jihadists' worldview is concentrated on thick government agencies shortlisting books for awards.
