Text
I will raise an issue that is difficult, but I will try to do so in a sensitive way. This is in no way prejudicial to the vast majority of people who follow Islam, but there have been examples of Islamic preachers who have preached hatred and extremism or for the subservience of women under men. Will any steps be taken to ensure that any religion that is coming into our schools and being preached by someone or explained to our pupils is not inconsistent with our values, which are that women are not subservient to men and have full equal rights in our society?
