I can't believe I am reading this nonsense.

1) An independent school IS a private school

2) Private schools are not "taxpayer" funded (except for specific grants)

3) As it is a PRIVATE school, it is not a PUBLIC building

Edit: Oops, already covered.

I don't mind them living here, but I DO mind them enforcing their religion over us.

I am mistaken about my previous assumption about the most ignorant and racist post, I think this is just as equal.

The attitude rather of one of compassion and understanding seems to be one of immaturity just applying some far reaching abitrary objection based solely on the gender (and if it is to be believed, religion in some cases).

I would bet a years income on the school still being active at this time. There are probably several extracurricular activities and after school clubs.

The children might have been born here but I doubt the parents were, it's the parents who are causing the problems isn't it?

Each time my incredulousness is surpassed.

I thought it had been explained to you several times before; but I'll have another go.

Now listen carefully:

Asian is not a religion and for someone to assume that, is a racist. To say that ALL Muslims live in Asia, is racist.

i use asian as a collective term, hindus ,muslim chinese all live in Asia

Is that clear enough for you?
