Rotherham Borough Council: Foster Family

U.K. Independence Party Dept: The Rotherham borough council sparked criticism Saturday when it was revealed that its social workers removed the children, who are European migrants, because their foster parents are members of the right-wing U.K. Independence Party, according to Vancouver Sun. Education Secretary Michael Gove condemned the decision as arbitrary and indefensible, saying that political beliefs should not stop anyone from fostering children and lONDON - Britain's education secretary says he will investigate how local officials removed three children from their foster family because of concerns about the parents' political beliefs. The party wants Britain to withdraw from the EU and favours immigration curbs. Social workers said they were concerned that the children's "cultural and ethnic needs" may not be met in the foster family. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
