Failure to go on school trip is now racist!

In modern society, religion is mental poison. No better way to defend yourself than to understand it as much as possible IMO. Thing is, kids aren't so critical or cynical as we are.

These regular threads make me sad, I enjoy this community and have been an active member for years but the regularity of this bigoted nonesense makes me question whether I really want to be a part of it.

Please people stop reading the daily fail and litening to the wailings of simpletons, open your eyes go out into the world and look at the real situation and then make up your minds.

If you are on about the OP then it is nothing to do with the parents wanting their children go to an Explore Islam day but about the blackmail in the letter.
If you can't get your head around it then it's because you haven't read it correctly.

I'd also like to add that no Muslims were involved in the OP and it was all down to a stupid white British woman making her own rules up.

Yeah I am. I was trying to comment on exactly what you've said. The problem is with the letter in that it's far too extreme, but I can also imagine that the headmaster felt the need to reinforce the fact that the children should be going, but has gone rather OTTP.

He's right though, if you're religious then it's more than likely because your parents told indoctrinated you into it at a young age, just as their parents indoctrinated them.

"And as the capacity for believing is strongest in childhood, special care is taken to make sure of this tender age. This has much more to do with the doctrines of belief taking root than threats and reports of miracles. If, in early childhood, certain fundamental views and doctrines are paraded with unusual solemnity, and an air of the greatest earnestness never before visible in anything else; if, at the same time, the possibility of a doubt about them be completely passed over, or touched upon only to indicate that doubt is the first step to eternal perdition, the resulting impression will be so deep that, as a rule, that is, in almost every case, doubt about them will be almost as impossible as doubt about one's own existence."

I wouldn't want my kids on a "religious shell not be named trip" I'd sooner they go on a trip about engineering or science & maths...

It was just that twice it looked like you thought the parents were complaining about their kids going to an Explore Islam day and they didn't want them to go.

I get you. I just assumed that the letter was a second one, sent after mass outrage by the parents. I'd be very surprised if the headmaster would threaten them straight out.

Anyway, if I'm wrong, then you are indeed correct, and I apologise.
