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