Failure to go on school trip is now racist!

Religion should be taught, as an illustration of how stupid and primitive early humans were. Religion will be the most important lesson history ever taught us.

Although religion!=race in the first place, what would the consequences have been if I failed to turn up to a Buddhist/Sikh/Catholic/Mormon/Jew convention? Yup you're right, no unspent "racist" or "hate crimes" conviction against me for the next x number of years. Granted, awareness of other religions (via RE classes) is fine, but to impose a penalty on un-consenting minors' non-compliance comes across to me as forced conversion.

You are speculating. Perhaps all the children in the school who aren't Muslim are known as anti-Islam (or whatever it is) and that's why it's treated as discrimination.
 
they all look like scum any way. Although it always makes me laugh that it's always middle class public sector workers trying to push their politically correctness agenda on to people lol

That seems to be a very closed view.

Admittedly a long time ago now, but when I did RE at school we went to a Muslim Mosque, a Sikh Gurdwara and a local church.

None of these 'forced' the religion on us. It was simply a trip to understand how the faiths work and worship and was on the whole quite interesting as it also covered culture to a degree too.

It hopefully helped some kids understand the differences between cultures.

Then though, racial discrimination was not really an issue. It was just seen as a school trip and we went regardless of faith or skin colour.
 
Remember when I was a primary school they did some sort of exchange with a predominately mussie school from the inner-city in the name of celebrating diversity and multi-cultural goodness. The idea was that some mussie kids would come to our school for a week then we'd send some kids back to theirs later. Well their kids came and caused so much trouble that they cancelled the programme mid-week. There was no racism in our school before this little wheeze but there sure as hell was afterwards lol.

This.

Though 600,000 white people have left London in the past 10 years, so maybe the whole "NIMBY and it's fine" approach only works for so long. :p
 
Tbh, as soon as a child realises how restrictive Islam would be on their lives they'll run a thousand miles. The only reason people become Muslims is because of their parents. Yes some people do convert but it's such a tiny number it's not worth considering.

A lot of people like being restricted in their lives, imo they're a bit mentally defective which would tie in with what I've seen of British muslim converts in the media.
 
In defence of Comic Sans, schools tend to use it as the 'a' character is drawn how children are taught to write it.

And now back to your regularly scheduled DM outrage thread...
 
IMO. I think schools shouldn't teach religion at all until pupils reach an age that they can logically work out things for themselves.

So at around the age of 14+ pupils should be given an option to learn about religion, they should be taught all facets of religions, including its contradictions and its oppressive history.
Then once they leave school they can use their own learned mind to select what religion they wish to be in and not have it forced upon them by some PC state.

Of course, this will never happen as nobody in their right mind would take a religious book as factual after actually learning basic science classes.
 
£5 might well be a lot of money to the parents in those pictures... aside from any reasonable objections to not wanting their child exposed to a barbaric and backwards belief system at this point in time surely just the simple fact that the trip has to be paid for by parents should make it voluntary.

I'd be more concerned about religious parents barring their kids from sex education classes than non-religious parents not wanting to pay for their kids to be exposed to some form of magic pixie worship.

Forcing it down their throat, so that's what teaching is called these days. God forbid your kids have a balanced view on life, just a shame they'll grow up as narrow minded as you.
