Again? I thought they were past sacrificing folks to their magical cloud men…..
Ah, looks like Miss Snuffy is at it again.
Her:
>ours is a **happy and **respectful** secular school where every race, faith and group understands self-sacrifice for the betterment of the whole” she said.
The Student:
>a student, who cannot be named, challenged the school at the High Court, arguing that the policy of banning “prayer rituals” was discriminatory and breached the right to freedom of religion.
Doesn’t seem that this student feels respected or happy?
>She highlighted objections by pupils and parents of other religions at the school that had not been acted upon, such as Jehovah’s Witness families disagreeing with the teaching of Macbeth as a GCSE text, and said that Muslim families had signed up to the school knowing that it did not have a prayer room.
Does this woman not understand that:
– Banning students from prayer and not upholding a parent complaint about teaching a traditional text are two different things?
– That a prayer room is literal just a calm, clean room where people are allowed to pray? There’s no requirement that it’s a prayer room 24/7.
Does her school not have rooms?
>“We allow our children freedoms of all sorts as long as those freedoms do not threaten the happiness and success of the whole school community. Our children, whatever their background, are British.”
That’s not how ethnicity works.
>The pupil was seeking a “compromise” to the school’s position, Hannett said, arguing that children should be allowed to pray for about five minutes at lunchtime on dates when faith rules required it, but not during lessons.
How does a Student being allowed to pray for five minutes at lunch time on certain dates threaten the happiness or success of any other children?
Without even checking the article I knew which ‘Head’ it would be referring to. More performative crap to please the smooth-brained.
As always its the same groups wanting exemptions from normal decency and practice then calling it discrimination when its not given.
The jews and muslims want to mutilate baby boys, which we wouldnt other wise do cause god.
The Catholics want to ban divorce and collect tithes through government cause god
The Sikhs want to carry knives everywhere cause… not sure if its god but something nonsense.
And finally the Muslims want to have everyone accomodate their inane prayer rituals as we go about normal business. Kids being kids of course, are not allowed out of class or different schedules as its not fair on the others.
If the RULE is applied equally its not discrimination. Fuck off. Bloody religions.
Good. Religion has one place-in the history books and fiction section of a book store. Mentally ill neurotic mythology believers have no say in, grounded reality.
There’s nothing positive ever heard about this woman or her schools!
That kid would have been bullied at my school for wanting to pray
They would have been merciless on that
How hard is to understand.
It’s a non religious school, no religion is allowed. None. It’s not discrimination.
Why do the Muslims want to change so much about our country and rules and schools? Send them to a Muslim school or home school then stop thinking you can pull a prayer mat out 4 times a day in a non religious school.
Sounds like one for the Temple of Satan to get involved in. If we have one type of prayer LARP, better let the Baphomet-worshippers do their LARPing too.
Is it multiculturalism if you force everyone to conform to your idea of a generic non-culture?
Because it’s Birbalsingh I immediately support the other side and didn’t read the article.
I too find omnipotent spaghetti monsters silly and unhelpful, but this head is a well known attention seeking loon, and loves riling up libs and the leftie wokerati. Pro spaghetti on this.
A school being secular just means that the teachers aren’t pushing a religion or teaching a religion as fact. This is a good thing all students ough to be encouraged to make up their own mind.
What this is making religious students unconfortable and vunerable for no reason. Its singling them out and deeming something they feel is important to them as werid and wrong. I worry it will encourage bullying.
I’m an atheist, and find preventing people expressing their own beliefs on their own time in a non-offensive way is against British values, much more offensively so than being visibly religious.
Why is this woman always in the press? One headteacher put of thousands? Seems to run everybody up the wrong way.
How about those of “no religion” making sacrifices? Shouldn’t we all for the sake of inclusivity and diversity?
Is this the unhinged loony that was at the Nat-C conference?
It’s funny how (state funded) religious schools are legally allowed to discriminate, with members of their faith being given priority in going to that school. But secular schools aren’t allowed to be secular.
Why does religion always get special privileges? Secularism is as much a valid belief system as religion is.
Everything is allowed apart from freedom of your mind. Seems about right. Praying doesn’t hurt anyone and it might be connected to the child’s personal or family life. The replies here show the typical ignorant knee jerk headline worthy bs.
Pray rooms for children you have to think about security and will have added cost.
I’ve no problem with this religion stuff, but they should keep it away from kids.
People in the comments trying to claim it’s not discrimination when it so clearly is. This rule very clearly targets muslims. No other major religions require multiple times a day of prayer. And the children are doing it in their breaks, their free time, they should be free to do whatever they want. It’s not apart of christianity that people should try their best to pray at certain times of the day and you are meant to use a mat and face a certain direction. That’s why it’s discrimination, clearly the rule is singling out muslims. And the worst part is, why? Why bother? They literally aren’t harming anyone, they are children.
Religion and politics have no place in the school and should rightfully be banned.
People are ok with making 4 year olds write letters to a gay lover, but praying to God in private got a few minutes is unacceptable?
Look at that photo, that’s an English school is it, not a white person in sight. Crazy
