Antisemitism reviewer David Bell said Muslim schools could threaten UK's 'coherence'

The lead reviewer into antisemitism in British schools has previously been accused of singling out Muslim schools by suggesting they could potentially threaten Britain's coherence as a nation, it has emerged. Sir David Bell, who led the antisemitism review published this week, made the remarks in 2005 when he was the head of Ofsted, Britain's schools regulator. He called on Muslim schools to reform their curriculums to allow pupils to "acquire an appreciation of and respect for other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony".
