The trouble is that "British Values" is an undefined phrase, which if you asked 100 people, you would probably get 75 different lists - so how can something undefined be taught?

According to OFSTED, the 5 British values that should be taught are -

Democracy.
The rule of law.
Individual liberty.
Mutual respect.
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

Sounds fair too me.

btw, Richard, the date on your Telegraph article is "28 MARCH 2016" - the two later articles are just the SNP being a bit silly, and being denounced for their action by Muslim leaders.
