I’m not religious as you all know , and speaking from this perspective –
I saw an article yesterday , about a head teacher of a school in the U.K. , trying to stop separate morning assemblies for Christians and Muslims pupils , and because of this action , she ended up being forced out of her job , and then accused of being racist !!
Now - instead of my usual rant against those with hidden agendas , who have no doubt instigated this silly situation , and of course my old friends the politically correct who no doubt support them in their ” important endeavours “.
I surprisingly offer an amicable solution ……well two actually ………
How about - either not having an assembly at all - like the secular French education system , or if you are religiously inclined - alternatively a multi faith assembly - exploring each others beliefs in a process of multicultural religious education……..........................
......................…….I don’t believe I just wrote all that :)
I must admit its years since I attended school , but in my naivity , I thought maybe - educating all our children in to all aspects of life , in a fair and even manner , is what that system is all about - isn’t it ? , or am I missing the point here – yet again :)
I must say - without ranting ( I promise ) -
I totally and utterly support the head teacher in her brave effort to end religious segregation , and liken this particular system as to that of apartheid , which as you all know was separation of races due to colour .
Thus with this in mind , can you be actually be legally or morally accused of racism by actively trying to break down the barriers of segregation - I think not .
I’m glad Martin Luther King didn’t have to put up with this :)
