Why should students from other religions or non religious people be forced to change?

Shouldn't this attitude also be applied towards the school spring holidays as well then since they're pretty much locked onto when Easter and Whitsun occur?

Also love the sentiment of an 'us' and 'them'. If we're talking about UK citizens there is no us and them just personal expression of choice in a belief system, which afaik is a fundamental right in the UK. Or should we go back to persecuting Catholics again as well because they're not our sponsored flavour of Christian?
 
Y'know, there are things in life which I am against, and things I don't mind. This doesn't affect anyone, this doesn't lower the standards of our schooling or change anything in such a way that it's detrimental to our way of life. What this is, is being accommodating to others. I see no problem with this whatsoever, and until Muslims pry my bacon sammich from my cold, dead hands, I generally have no problem with them either.

I absolutely agree but should I have to change what i do to accommodate that?
 
Typical GD thread good to see more and more people calling out the haters, this is a nothing news story but still the 'send em back' mob have descended!

So you defend him when he says he wants to implement sharia law?

Technically he said he's defending his right to say what he likes, not that he's defending his viewpoint.

If you want free speech you can have it but you can't go crying when someone say's something you don't like.

So you're currently at school or sixth form studying GCSE or A-Levels and you have to change to accommodate someone else?

Lets cry for the poor students who get a couple extra weeks of revision, seems like a win all round personally.
 
School kids should all band together and create a new religion with loads of advantageous demands.

How many school age children are there in the UK vs the number required to start a recognised religion?
 
Aren't all Asian kids stupidly clever anyway? So can't see how not eating will have any effect on them all getting A*'s anyway....I mean they've all done OK in the past.

Talk about pandering to them.

They should change the exam dates to reflect important dates in the chav calendar, like a new phone being relased, international football match, new Playstation game being released, they are the truly forgotten people in society.
