northern ireland integrated education shambles

integrated education farce,integrated education capitalist styly, as provided by right wing nut case QC Basil mcivor.

'let the poor eat shite' and 'let the rich kids feast on cake' hanging judge QC Basil mcivors motto for integrated education. is it any wonder that integrated educations flagship/shite school Lagan college is situated in the arsehole of nowhere, a paedophille haven, between numerous hazardous electrical pylons. Yes while lagan college pupils slum it in mobiles, you can bet their school governor QC Basil mcivor is driving about in his expensive suits and chauffer driven limosine, whilst begging working class parents for donations to maintain the custom to which QC Basil mcivor has been acustomed to all his futile life. Because these donations do not seem to going into the schools coffers, more like into basil mcivors pockets. With people like Basil mcivor championing its cause no wonder lagan is such a fuking dump.QC Basil mcivor who has never heard of socialism, communism, or anarchism promotes integrated education for rich protestants and catholics, whose children automatically enter the grammar streams, where they are bestowed all manner of educational privileges , whilst working class children are automatically dumped in its non grammar secondary streams and must fight each other for the crumbs at its integrated capitalist table, making do with limited educational provision and facillities. This is why CCTV patrols the corridors of lagan college which is big on discipline like a well run prison, but small in providing proper educational provision for its working class children. and just like a high security prison which spends all its budget on security, whilst spendin little or nothing on the inmates right to educational and social facilities. but we are not talking about prisoners here, we are talking about children, yet lagan college sees fit only to spend its budget on security whilst neglecting the rights of its children to an education. if there were enough educational facillities and social provision for the children of lagan college to keep them occupied and engaged in the educational process, there would be no need for CCTV. This is why despite its so called integrated ethos, Sociology is not taught at lagan college and why the minister for education Martin mcguinness was not invited to lagan college's 20th anniversary celebrations. so much for integration and tolerance. Lagan college can tolerate the RUC club, yet it cannot invite martin mcguinness to a function. whats going on here?, the influence of british empire stalwart QC Basil mcivor is whats happening up at lagan college.with its oppressive discipline, privilege and snobby prejudice these are all character traits of basil mcivor which have been superimposed onto the ethos of lagan college. thus once again working class unity is subverted by upper class snobs such as QC Basil mcivor and his ilk, who see integrated education as another opportunity to oppress the children of working class protestants and catholics and making a total sham of the meaning of integrated education, shame on these bastards.

its a disgraceful sham

after 20 years the children at lagan college are still being taught in mobiles, whilst QC Basil MCivor and co lord it about the place, hosting expensive, exclusive gala events at the Waterfront hall, congratulating each other and patting each other on the back, presumably for robbing thousands of working class parents of their hopes and dreams that integrated education would unite and provide working class protestant and catholic parents with proper unprejudiced and unexclusive education for their working class children.

I.E doesnt need corrupt Basil Mcivor

its terrible that integrated education has been subverted and hijacked by military establishment unionist snobs like QC Basil Mcivor and his kind, who are using integrated education to reinforce social class prejucide and establishment order, by providing exclusive privilleged education for rich middle class kids in grammar stream, whilst simultaneously ignoring working class children. It just shows you that the authorities are so threatened by working class unity and integration, that they had to install QC Basil mcivor to fuck it all up. Its because of Basil mcivor's greed for power, status and privilege that lagan college pupils are still being taught in mobiles after 20 years.

reclaim integrated education for our kidsake

Lagan college actively discriminates against the children of socialists or the children of parents with political convictions. Lagan college works closely through its bastion of the establishment QC basil mcivor with other establishment stalwarts such as the speacial branch of the pig service of northern ireland, who provides the school authorities with information/intelligence on the political convictions of parents of children at lagan college, to enable active discrimination against these children it terms of picking on these children by teachers who single these children out for punishment and educational demotion. Thus once again despite the initial socialistic goals of integrated education for all, children from working class backgrounds dont achieve educationally at lagan college, the only children who progress up the educational ladder are children of the rich, who have sufficient earnings to supplement their childrens education with private tutors and stable, quiet home lifes, thus the working class children living on the peaceline in the middle of a warzone, dont achieve educationally. the only other children to progress educationaly at lagan college besides the children of the rich and establishment, are the children of informants/hard drug pushers, whom the school authorities and QC Basil mcivor favours due to their usefulness to the authorities in terms of providing info on poitical agitators and pushing smack to enslave and destroy working class communities. Ordinary well meaning Working class protestant and catholic parents need to reclaim their right to have integrated education for their kids, their childrens human right to education without social class prejudice, and without educaitonal privillege for rich and establishment lackeys. Every child is entitled to a chance to educational achievement and at the moment the political manouvering and dirty tricks behind integrated education is condemning thousands of working class children who entered integrated institutes in goodwill and good faith, to educational oblivion, with no educational propects and a life of educational failure.

Lagan College is the tope intergrated college.

All these aligations against Lagan College and many members staff posted on this discriminational web site are 100% untrue. Lagan College is the top school for intergrated education and if you did not take advantage of your time at Lagan College then you are the fool. The high level of education, excellent and outstanding results at Key Stage Three, GCSE and As/A2 Level, and the enthuasim of all pupils are far higher than ever expected. Why? because of the high status in which Lagan College stands. This school is in a league with the elite schools, not because of any intolerance on the part of members of staff, but because of the cooperation and good will of everybody who attend. This site that attacks the great name of Lagan College, is only here because the people who want to destroy the name of Lagan College, are the people who have made up a reason just for 'the fun of it. Lagan has always been, is still and will remain an excellent school, and no stupid and immature website will ever ever change that.

Pack of lies, sorry.

sorry but this article is incredibly misinformed - it is immature, pathetic and one-sided. Basil McIvor (RIP) did a lot for Lagan College, and it's hardly his fault there are still mobiles at Lagan (at this point I'd like to point out that many schools still have mobiles) - well-kept mobiles, as well as an excellent main building and technology building, and more on the way thanks to government funding - quite obviously the writer of this article knows nothing of Basil McIvor's efforts to help the college and holds some sort of personal vendetta against the guy.

Lagan is an excellent school - I should know, I've been a student there for nearly 7 years. I couldn't be more proud of my school - or more disgusted at the garbage the writer of the artcile is spouting.
