Countering Extremism in British Schools?

In 2014 `Trojan Horse affair, an alleged plot to `Islamify several state schools in Birmingham, caused a previously highly successful school to be vilified. Holmwood and OToole challenge the accepted narrative and draw on the potential parallel with the Hillsborough disaster to suggest a similar false narrative has taken hold of public debate. This important book highlights the major injustice inflicted on the teachers and shows how this affair was used to criticise multiculturalism, and justify the expansion of a broad and intrusive counter extremism agenda.
