Daily Express: The World's Greatest Newspaper :: UK News :: Fury over plan to teach Koran in schools

According to this report, the NUT want out children to be taught the Koran, while at the same time they want school assemblies (Christian) to be abandoned.

Are there any NUT members on this forum who can explain how this came about?

Parents should protest by taking their children out of school and home school them. I wouldn't let any children of mine be taught this rubbish, wouldn't tolerate deviant sex education lessons (social engineering) either. I've also read about some schools giving our children Halal meat too, they say it's easier for schools as they don't have to prepare separate meals for Muslims and Christians. Whoa, if I had children and were faced with this rubbish it would be WWIII, heads would roll.

Teaching any religion in schools should be banned.If you want your kids to learn about religion teach them yourself or send them to Sunday school (or whatever equivalent for your religion) .If you send them to faith schools thats a different matter as you are in sending them agreeing to religious instruction.

What ever happened to RE classes, you know where they taught kids about different religons from a ACADEMIC point of view. I presume this was a far too secular approach to the oh so holy "belief" that we are expected to respect in people?

What a joke..

"About 7,000 state schools in England are faith schools – roughly one in three of the total – educating 1.7million pupils. Most are either Church of England or Roman Catholic."

Stop giving them tax payers funding.

I'm with you on this one ranter!

Having attended two state schools which were 'secular', we were still told to pray and sing hymns (which I stopped doing when I was old enough to realise what I was doing). Now that I am older, not only did this make me feel anger towards the church who abused my naivity in such a way, but I also felt anger towards the state for doing so as well. Forcing religious or political beliefs on unknowing children, especially when it is done by organisations which have a vested interest in doing so (the church) or hide behind the veil of comprehensiveness (the state), is - in my view - extremely disturbing.

These arguments about what we can and cannot teach will go on so long as we have government controlled education. A centralised body controlling what the children of this country do and do not learn stinks of social control and manipulation. The sooner there is more choice and a lessening of state control on education the better.

I for one wouldn't be happy if my child of the future was told to pray in the school auditorium, but I would be happy if they were taught RE in an objective way in the proper class. Others might disagree, and that should be their choice - not the choice of the state and not the choice of the church.

Still, even in a 6th form, we are made to pray. (While the inspectors are coming, anyway)
They are the most repulsive prayers of selflessness and altruism too.

I think the French have got this one pretty well right. My understanding is that religion is not taught in French schools, and hasn't been since the revolution. If you want religion taught to your kids you do it yourself or have 'em sent to a Sunday school or equivalent (as Ranter & HFP suggested). A few tears back they also banned overt, 'ostentatious' is the word they use, displays of religiosity by pupils. So no burquas, skullcaps, turbans, prominent crucifixes etc. Pupils can wear small discrete symbols, such as a crucifix, star of David etc, provided it is exactly that - discrete.

Just google 'French Secularism' and you'll find out more.

This is just another outbreak of multi-culti PC bull from a bunch of Marxist cretins! With Marxists, I generally observe, they are educated beyond their limited intelligence and promoted above their meagre abilities. Consequently they tend to gravitate towards organisations such as NUT.
