Heh. Our Dutch state secretary of education was slapped on the wrist by the judges of the Raad van State (the Court that deals with cases vs the state).
Secretary Sander Dekker had refused to finance an islamic primary school, after one of it's board members refused to withdraw a statement from Facebook in which he swore allegiance to IS.
Dekker was of the opinion that the board members of the school were incapable of organizing education that improves citizenship and social integration, and thus did not approve of government funding for the school.

The judge however ruled that he did not properly motivate his grounds for not funding the school, and he is now forced to give them the funding after all.

This was yesterday's news.
Todays news: A group of 15 islamic primary schools in the Netherlands has made a joint statement in the NRC newspaper, condemning the new islamic school, and supporting Dekker in his original assessment to not approve funding.
"The board has absolutely no experience or affinity with education", and "they are cowboys with no heed for public interests".

Still, this doesn't change the judges' ruling. Coming september, 184 children in Amsterdam will start their education at a government funded islamic school with IS sympathies.

EDIT: ohwait, no, it's not a primary school, it's a highschool. The 15 islamic schools that wrote the letter are warning parents of islamic children that were on their primary schools not to send them to the new islamic highschool.

Note that none of the Bangladese even have the slightest chance of getting a permit to stay. Bangladesh is a 'safe' country, they are all economic migrants and will not get a visum. However, Bangladesh has been refusing to let them back into the country.

Note entirely true. Sure, they probably won't get full refugee status, but Italian judges have given some kind of protections to at least a fourth of incoming Bengladeshi. (Source: Economist) It's the same retarded European Policy of making it really hard to get here, but being quite generous once you set foot on the continent.

They're basically mercenaries from the other games.
