A leaked draft government report on the "Trojan Horse" investigation of Birmingham schools found "coordinated, deliberate and sustained action to introduce an intolerant and aggressive Islamist ethos into some schools in the city." It also found that "extremism went unchecked because the council 'disastrously' prioritised community cohesion over 'doing what is right'." Birmingham City Council head Sir Albert Bore apologized for the council's failure to address the problem due to a "fear of being accused of racism," but noted that governors at the two of the schools schools have not acknowledged any wrongdoing. An Ofsted report stated that a Bradford school did not sufficiently protect students against extremism.
