“If that’s what you think, and that’s what you believe, and you want to hold that in your head, that is your business and your right, but bear in mind that if you speak it out loud you might be breaking the law,” said Polly Harrow, the head of safeguarding and Prevent at Kirklees College in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.
Huddersfield is in a “priority” area for the government because of the high incidence of youth being recruited for Islamic jihad.
She was interviewed by BBC Radio 4′s “Today” program regarding the government’s “counter-extremism” policy, known as Prevent.
The BBC’s Sima Kotecha explained that the government has allocated money for someone to raise concerns about students and refer them to the police, if necessary, which is Harrow’s role.

The policy requires teaching “British values,” such as “tolerance,” which can conflict with religious beliefs.
The government’s definition of extremism is “vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.”
In the BBC interview, Harrow emphasized that “British values” include not only tolerance but “acceptance of difference and others.”
In its counter-terrorism strategy, the British government also proposes imposing “extreme disruption orders,” which would severely limit the speech rights of individuals deemed to be extremists who haven’t broken any laws.
The Christian Institute noted Conservative Party MP David Davis has warned that restricting free speech could further alienate people, and the London Telegraph has said the government should be careful not to water down “our most precious value, freedom of expression.”
Queens Counsel David Anderson has argued that the government’s broad definition of extremism could prompt investigations of the “exercise of core democratic freedoms by large numbers of law-abiding people.”
