Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday announced a major crackdown on madrassas and other religious schools in the UK that teach children intolerance, warning that they will be shut down. Cameron, speaking at the annual Conservative party conference in Manchester, promised to open up these religious schools to scrutiny. “Did you know, in our country, there are some children who spend several hours each day at a madrassaIJ let me be clear: there is nothing wrong with children learning about their faith, whether it’s at madrassas, Sunday schools or Jewish yeshivas.
