The demand for Muslim schools is not just a question of equality, but spring from a belief among many minority parents that the education system does not adequately address their cultural needs.
Now this puts a new twist on things.. because, here in the caribbean "Culture" is not a problem, but the religious aspect is.
I guess the issue is deeper than simply educational reform but reform of the system itself.
But to further add to your topic. You mentioned it being a "Defensive" response. Is there anything proactive that can be done in order to address the education system specifically (i.e. with regards, both to the state run and state assisted islamic schools)
