Should we allow a situation such as this in our schools? And should this teacher be sacked?

Why do we skirt around issues that might offend other religions and yet ignore issues that might offend Christians?

This is a Christian Country?

Well done Shadow man, I don't think I've laughed so much in years?

When did you last go to church and how much company did you have there?

There's no excuse for teaching religion, or having worship of any type in public schools.

Schools are places of learning not superstition. If people want their children taught all that stuff they should pay for it themselves and have it done in church, synagogue or mosque or whatever.
jake-the-peg,
I go to church most Sunday's (3 out of 4) and they are usually standing room only unless you get there early
Just because you aren't a strict Christian with strict Christian views and extreme beliefs doesn't mean that their are not some out there. I know more Christians with bizarrely extreme beliefs about Gods wishes than I do Muslim terrorists.

Jake do you not think it would be awful if children grew up only knowing about other religions from information given to them via the news and their parents. If taught it at school they can be given impartial information where as parents could bring them up with views like shadow man's. You cannot escape religion your whole life at some point it will be encountered.
peg-leg, did you actually read my post???

Where have I made you laugh??????

Did I or did I not say I don't go to church??????????

I could trawl further, but really can not be bothered. God loves ya baby!!!.

The mind boggles it really does.
John in my area, I have to grab the vicar to find out where family service is going to be held because there are so few people attending that they split the services between 4 churches.
Couldn't we all agree on the following so that we can call a halt to all these arguments:

1. All black people are bad.
2. All Asians are bad (apart from the ones who keep quiet and open their shops late).
3. All white people are descended from the tears of angels
4. All eastern Europeans come over here to impregnate our daughters and eat our pigeons (probably)
5. All white kids wouldn't take drugs if it wasn't for gangster rap which is produced by black people (see point one)
6. All asylum seekers are potential terrorists
7. All terrorists are potential asylum seekers
8. It was so much better back in the 1950s...a period that few of us actually remember.
9. All mosques should be torn down and jolly 1950s style theme pubs put up in their place.
10. Our children aren't even being taught English anymore because of the Asians (see point two)

I would happily sign up for the above if we could...just....stop...the....flipping...Muslim....bashing...just for a day or two.

Please.

so free-born British children should be banned from writing certain words during handwriting practice?? What nonsense! Do you think our ancestors, brave men who went out to create an empire, brought up their children to be scared of Arab words? What a lily-livered approach to the world. Your grandfathers would laugh to see how timid their descendants have become. 'Write what you like!' they would say. 'Don't let the nanny-staters of the AnswerBank tell you what you mustn't say!'

I'm going to tell you something, and I want you to think about it for a minute...

Whilst there are many, many people who are genuinely worried about the effects of immigration and will openly talk about this - unfortunately, there's a hell of a lot of genuine racist filth who try to sound exactly like you.

They trumpet that "I'm only speaking my mind...blah" thing, whereas what they really want to do is join the BNP and "smack a few p*kis up".

I hope you can see how confusing it can be - if people like you and good old-fashioned racist scum sound exactly alike nowadays, it can be incredibly easy to mix you up because they're kinda...nicking your sentiments, trying to dress up their white supremacy cobblers to sound reasonable.

It just taints the whole debate.
SP1814 i am just realising how agressive you really are.

Has something happened to you that your ashamed of?
I think you have suffered a bad experience and are no better than these so called racists you go on about.
please tell us why you have so much anger in you.
Its better to get it out in the open...
"And my time of power will come..."
MrBen5

I have never been picked on by racists because...well, frankly I grew up in a rough part of South London and am built like a brick outhouse.

However, you're absolutely correct in that racism (together with homophobia and sexism) is something that pushes all my buttons.

But what pushes them harder are non-racists who pretend it doesn't exist.

I find them naive.

(I may have spelled 'naive' incorrectly there).
Hang on...MrBen5 - I've just clocked...you're trying to analyze me!!!

Bless.

That made me grin.

Good man.

Thank you for your post timed at 15:43.

Normally you have to wait a day or so before someone decodes at Daily Mail story into the truth, but you've managed to do it in just a few hours.

Dan Brown would be proud of you mate...and perhaps saved the world from reading his rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish book.
He's truely on form today Splat.

I don't belong in news and I should be baking cakes.

SP1814 i am just realising how agressive you really are.

You are quite correct to point this out MrBen5t o sp1814. I have noticed on numourous occasions during discussions on the Radio or TV between Black people, Muslims and White people.

It is always the Black or Muslim that will raise their voices and try and over talk the white person, there is so much pent-up aggression why is this?

This is not a myth, watch Question Time or listen to Radio 4 or radio talk shows, MAN (why do they say this)?
Maybe I should have emphasized the word last in that Shadow man.

But I do admire to ability to spout utter tripe and prefix it with things like "It is generally accepted that".

Must be a defective shame gene
anotheoldgit

This is not Radio or TV it is words on a screen, please try and at least supply some counter arguments to sp1814. This "All Black and Muslim people always raise their voices and try and over talk the white person people" is just lame, try and keep on-topic and focused.

I know this is a stupid story from the Daily Mail but at least you could put a bit of effort into trying to defend it. You are just not trying hard enough.

STOP PRESS:
Schools are teaching children about Hilter and the Nazis and have even been showing impressionable children footage of rallies and speeches. The schools claimed it was a History lesson, but it is really indoctrinating by the BNP. Teacher Cecil Molesworthy told the Daily Lie, we are going to do Stalin next week.
you don't suppose it's because the white people are too busy asking dumb questions, oldgit? Naaa, couldn't be.
I did try to introduce a post where immigration, current or 20C wasn't the main thrust. But, hey no one can get really steamed up about our happiness factor. Even me and it was my thread.

I'm not afraid to say what I think.

We should rid the country of every ******, ****,*** etc.
We should also get rid of the scroungers from Poland etc.

Enoch Powell was right.
