According to the article those pushing for grammar schools to be abolished believe their effects amount to social and ethnic cleansing. Within which world do some people live.

It mentions social and ethnic segregation, not cleansing!!

Some people have a very bizarre attitude. My DDs attend a grammar with much greater socioeconomic and cultural diversity than if they had gone to the white middle class comprehensive at the end of our road.
Is Labour worried that grammars will encourage upward social movement as traditionally their voters are working class??!
