There’s something soooo familiar about this.
Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson…
Even a soulless atheist like me has no problem with role-playing — minus compulsory prayer, thanks — so long as it’s being used for instruction, not indoctrination. If all major faiths get the same treatment, odds are it’s the former. If not, then … there’s not much “multi” in this little multiculturalist experiment, is there? The Mail doesn’t say one way or another, but judging from the reactions of the parents I’m guessing that in this case Diversity Street only runs one way. Exit quotation: “f Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war.”

These stories pop up every six months or so and without fail everyone wets their pants without the salient question being asked: Is the school doing this for other religions too?
