Don't get me started on this one.......

[d3ano]

i tend not to read articles like these anymore as i only get wound up. If i was a ninja do you think the school would allow me to wear a ninja outfit?

Human rights gone to far!

[scruffy]

off.

I wasn't allowed to wear my crown of thorns and nappy.

..err, oh yeah, I'm not christian...

"Rather it was a consequence of an atmosphere that has been created in Western societies post 9/11, an atmosphere in which Islam has been made a target for vilification in the name of the 'war on terror',"

So she wears the target???!!!

Strewth.

unbeleivable i assume i could wear footy kit to school seeing as thats my religion?

[Dakkon]

They should adopt the attitude of the French on this, no religious markings of any sort.

The whole point of a school uniform is to make kids look the same so that rich ones don't pick on poor ones for how they are dressed etc etc.

This is very wrong....sigh

School is about education not religion.

[BliarOut]

Jedi is a religion isn't it?

[scruffy]

Can I wear my paedophile outfit???

[chris watton]

We have been discussing this also, my colleague is convinced a Civil war will kick off soon due to ober pandering to the 'minorities'

right with you on this one.....

as I am an atheist do I get to go to skool naked?

The French have exactly the right idea.

Religion has no place in school. It has no place in society but we have to start somewhere...

That was already implied in the original joke...
Imagine a *hairy forty year old at school...


*Actually that would be most teachers.

Incedently what can you get away with under that holy sheath?

[Yertis]

In Saudi Arabia, arab babes wear mini-skirts and high heels, then cover the lot up with an only just translucent abaya, so you can see exactly whats going on when the sun's at the right angle. Then cover their faces up except for the eyes. Works a treat.

i think there is more to this than meets the eye.
why didnt she go to a muslim only school if she felt so hard done by?
where did she get all the legal aid/solicitors from.
why make all the noise and go to the high court?
i bet some other demands arise from this and all the blaaa about her human rights,how much for suffering??????

I presume this question is to the non catholics amongst us?

[scruffy]

Sounds like a desperate cry for help from a little girl who's lost her mummy and daddy.
Sod the religion.

Absolutely!

First we need to become a republic. So that the head of state is not also the head of the church.

IMO. Cases such as this do little to improve attitude towards muslins in this country.
