In 2011 he sent schools 600,000 New Testaments containing a personal commentary on "where King James could have done better, stylistically speaking", and in March 2012 replaced healthy school dinner targets with a requirement to paint the latin phrase "Ars longa, vita brevis" over every single serving hatch, insisting that school children would understand the warning "Big arse, short life".</p> <p>'The idea that a cabinet minster would risk our childrens' future just to get their name in lights is preposterous' continued Gove. 'This project will get my full attention, just as soon as I've helped the Home Secretary with the revamped Citizenship Tests - the "May Levels". </p>
