The fact that the first school has a Police officer based full time at it says a lot about the area......

A complaint was made to a police officer based full-time at the school, and more than a week after the incident on September 26 she was taken to Swinton police station and placed under arrest.

This Is London: christian BA employee suspended for wearing cross necklace..

I did a project a month ago to remove the light fixtures in a chaple sancuary on a US military base because they had tiny crosses in them... I'm not religious in the least but the irony was amusing. I'm of the opinion it's all a bunch of bull-sh!t.

Am I the only one that finds this one particularly disturbing?
I mean its one thing to forbid something like this but to force people to do wear this type of religious clothing is retarted.

I don't find it disturbing at all. What is disturbing is the fact that there are publicly funded religious schools in the first place. This is just the crap that comes along with it...

well, to be honest and to give credit were its due.

the best public schools in most of southamerica are "fe y alegria" (faith and happiness), which are public funded schools run by a cathollic charity.

well, actually it isnt so hard to be above average when the norm are 3rd world public institutions.. but there is some merit nonetheless.

I'm sure it's been going on for as long as these schools have existed. I know it was happening at the roman catholic school where I grew up 15 years ago. I knew several non religious friends that had a really bad time there. The school had a good reputation so a lot of parents would turn a blind eye, plus the town was growing fast so finding a place elsewhere was difficult.

I don't think the daily mail would be intrested in that situation though, only when immigrants are the ones doing it.

Yeah the Daily Mail suck all the balls.
