"Dave" accusing the government of funding terror schools, just because they have friends who sound a bit like a terror group.

Don't forget it was from Michael Gove, who's associated with the Policy Exchange think tank whose neocon supporters were responsible for the similar 'mosque bookshops' story that Newsnight exposed the other year. They threatened to sue, a threat not followed through.
PX have a rather worrying hold over the Tories*, so this isn't the last time this sort of thing happens - the problem is when it happens in power.
* Ran Boris Johnson's transition team (marred by incompetence and not checking the background of appointees) and are running Cameron's too, as well as having the appalling Gove (who thinks history should be taught prescriptively to a central government diktat** in order to groom 'patriotism') as a major backer.
** which is exactly what Labour do, but at least they don't claim it's to breed patriots. The Conservatives: New Labour, only worse.
