Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel down and pray to Allah | Mail Online

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson. Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.
Simply stupid. This teacher should be fired, along with the Superintendent that allowed this behavior. As far as having a religion class in school, I'm glad we're not British... although with our looming gun control, "terrorist" classifications, government sponsored domestic spying, and losing our rights to free travel, we're quickly getting subjugated by our own politicians. It's only going to be a matter of time until this happens in a U.S. school system. |

Wow. What a complete load of raw, uncut stupidity this was. One doesn't even have to try hard to see just how dumb telling kids to actually do something like a "practical example" of other religions' forms of worship is. Just point out there's a Church of Satan. Why was a teacher who didn't realize that worshipping another god is regarded as blasphemous by about 99% of the religious sects out there doing teaching anything to do with religion? |

I think Americans would riot. I hope so. That teacher should be fired. Period. That was stupid. The students that didn't do it based on their principles, they are the heroes. England better get a grip. They've said OK to Sharia law, let Muslms pitch a fit over a cute black puppy in a fireman's hat, and now this? |

Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher.
They missed their refreshment break?! Oh, it's on, now! There's a disturbing lack of common sense in Western schools, and we have our own problems in the USA: Scissors Get Suspension for 3rd-Grader. |
