I cannot do anything but agree with you Niamh, totally. It is an infuriating practice and needs stopping. I also agree that you should not HAVE to even contemplate sending your child to any other school which is more remote because of this ludicrous ruling.

I confronted my child's headmaster for FORCING him to learn about Islam and Muhammud in a C of E school at the same time he had prohibited Nativity plays at Christmas and the teaching of Christianity.

I do not shove my beliefs down my children's throats and I would be furious if some narrow-minded prat of a Head teacher tried to FORCE my children to accept HIS beliefs as part of their curriculum.

I feel like beating him/her up.
