Message 7483
I was invited to meet with Graham Badman and Liz Green -back at the start of April 2009

to quote from the original contact- they said

"We'd be very interested in hearing your views on home education particularly with reference to the Muslim community"
Report follows on this meeting - well worth reading

> I did have my suspicions some time ago that this whole move against the freedom to home educate could have it's origins in discussions about terrorism and paranoid politicians having visions of home education being a breeding ground for extremist teaching (I thought I was being paranoid myself but after watching Adam Curtis's documentaries on the weekend and reading this I'm beginning to wonder whether the child protection concerns aren't the primary
reason their so paranoid about home education.
