UNDERMINING INDEPENDENCE
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 08:13AM The role of Government in the UK is to socially engineer and this perversion is evident in how it deals with at least some non-State schools.
"Five independent schools are to be investigated by the Charity Commission to see if they meet the Government's tough new charity requirement to offer a “public benefit” by helping poor as well as rich people. Those that fail could be required to replace their trustee boards and ordered to make changes such as allotting more cash for bursaries and sharing facilities with state school pupils. The five include Manchester Grammar School (fees £9,000 a year), which is one of the top ten performing private boys' schools in the country at GCSE and which volunteered to be among the first fee-paying charities to undergo a public benefit test."
Now let us be clear what drives this - class envy.
Why SHOULD such an artifical concept as "public benefit" be imposed on the private school sector? The only reason the govenment can use this club to bludgeon private schools is that IF they don't go along with it - their charitable status could be withdrawn and their finances thrown into chaos. This is the act of a malignant socialist regime - trying to damage the remnant of decent education in this land.
