So the only evidence is an anonymous letter. Wow! And now the counter terrorism lot are involved. Sign of the times I suppose, we'll be looking under our beds next.
Muslim children go to a school, muslim parents will no doubt come forward to stand on governing bodies. If the DfE is genuinely worried then they need to introduce better screening that prevents people from standing. Going of the Tower Hamlets mayor elections this probably needs to be widened to beyond school Governors.

Birmingham's local authority has gone as far as to suspend all new school governor appointments following a barrage of allegations since this affair came to light.Muslim children go to a school, muslim parents will no doubt come forward to stand on governing bodies.

I don't think this is as simple an issue as there being a problem with Muslim governors.
Religion has played a massive part in our education system since forever, it's a bit hypocritical to discriminate between religious brands.
It's also a bit racist to suggest any muslim parents who wish to get involved in their local school are doing it to create 8 year old suicide bombers.

Say what you like about these Islamic suicide bomber factories, at least they teach you to spell.
Probably a throw away remark but it does sort of capture the casual Daily Mail irrational and racist stereotype of anyone who isn't, well whatever "normal" is. RedTrident said:

Not the only evidence, that was originally treated as a hoax.. Plenty of complaints from parents (both Muslim and non-Muslim) that dodgy practice were happening. Further investigations have uncovered evidence that may validate the parents complaints.Muslim children go to a school, muslim parents will no doubt come forward to stand on governing bodies.

Why is anyone surprised? It's not as if Mohammed's instructions are a well kept secret known only to a few. Not every Muslim will devote their lives to the struggle, but some will and some are. How else do you think Islam has spread?
Sadly, this is entirely true. Oli.

The second complaint I can think of is that the governing bodies are influencing the curriculum and appointment of staff. Unless they're doing something illegal then all they are doing here is fulfilling their roles. I'd have expected at least one industrial tribunal from someone who failed to get a job and/or was hounded out because their religion didn't fit.
Have I missed something? Looking forward to see what the actual evidence is and what the investigation reports.

What type of complaints? That people were being elected onto school governing bodies that other parents were not happy about? The existing governing system in most schools allows for parents to join the governing body. Once nominations are received all the other parents get a chance to vote. If anything, as is often the case, if anyone 'dodgy' gets in it is usually a consequence of apathy from the wider group of parents.

Some 200+ complaints from parents. Enough to instigate an investigation. You seem to be remarkably well informed, though.The second complaint I can think of is that the governing bodies are influencing the curriculum and appointment of staff.

In your haste to imply that this is based on race or religion you've missed the minor detail that some of the people making these claims are themselves Muslims, uncomfortable with what they see as infiltration by extremists.The second complaint I can think of is that the governing bodies are influencing the curriculum and appointment of staff.

Several industrial tribunals have cited these cases and at least one was upheld.
Counter terrorism are involved because several of those implicated are directly linked to banned organisations.
Government organisations have been walking on egg shells for many years and ignoring the the obvious. The letter may or may not have been genuine. However, it's served it's purpose by giving many people the courage to come forward.
One news report openly states that the alleged instigators are all Muslim of Pakistani origin.
Anyway, let's hear it from the appologists and those in denial. It always makes for amusing reading.
