I love how the youth are becoming more religious, just the vision I had for 2020 and beyond <3

Suella Braverman was the first chair of governors of the school, no surprise there then.

Fucking ridiculous. Religion has zero place in schools.

Complete shame and the excuse the school uses about undermining inclusion is nonsense. If kids don’t want to be friends because of prayer rituals than you having bigger issues. This shows about how you let bigots in power it permeates throughout the institution

Good. I’m a Catholic, but if I sent my kids to this school, I know the rules ahead of time. The other families of which there are other faiths involved managed to accept it just fine. Muslims are no different but they want some special treatment which defeats the purpose of the way this school is run in the first place.

My instinct is schools should have a multi-faith prayer room for students to use if they wish to do so during break times.

As long as the ban is being enforced equally against all religions then you can’t really say its discrimination, because you’re free to move to a different school which allows you to pray.

How in the world did this nonsense make it all the way to the High Court?!

The observable Universe is 93 billion light years across. If you believe something created that and all that lies beyond, then I think they will not mind if you stay and in class and learn rather than make a big performance of needing to pray.
Its not like there was a point between when we were the ape like Lucy/ Australopithecus Afarenensis and modern humans when the custodian of the 93 billion light year wide Universe suddenly needed us to pray otherwise they would feel bad. They will get over it.
(edited the obvious inference being that we are not dealing with science deniers here who think the world is a couple of thousand years old)
