The Prime Minister of England made the above statement yesterday regarding any schools that influence youths in a negative manner.
Quite right too. How does he intend to implement this, I wonder?

"If you are teaching intolerance, we WILL shut you down!" English Prime Minister David Cameron
Good sentiment, and I hope he backs it up with the implementation of a good plan.
Unfortunately, it's not just schools the PM and anti-extremism groups such as Prevent need to monitor - some university campuses have been accused of harboring extremism within their Islamic Societies.
The following article by Brendan O'Neill details his participation in a freedom of speech debate at Trinity College, Dublin. If accurate, the reactions of the students in the audience is noteworthy ...
Cameron had better roll up his sleeves and get cracking - he has much to do.

I thought you Brits had entrenched free speech into your laws?
Why try our best, but free speech doesn't include teaching children that Jews are descendants of apes and pigs or that Sharia law is a suitable response to homosexuality.
You're welcome.

Um, pretty sure that dictators advocate intolerance rather than condemn it.
