05/09/2009: "UK government wants the military to run state schools"

The Armed Forces will be drafted in to run state schools under plans to drive up discipline and respect in classrooms.

Ministers are in talks with defence chiefs about taking over a handful of schools and turning them into military academies.

Alongside daily lessons, pupils would be expected to take part in activities such as drills, uniformed parades, weapons handling and adventure training.

But the plan is likely to raise fears among teaching unions that the academies could turn into tough 'boot camps' or recruiting stations.

[ Why did the government take away the right of teachers to properly discipline pupils? The army won't be allowed to do this either. The idea is stupid and sinister. They must be trying to get us all to fight a suicidal war in which the only winner is Israel. And not only this - can anyone imagine what would happen if the army was trying to run one of Britain's many schools that are over-run by Muslims? ]
