She immediately retracted this after suggesting that it might not be a good idea for scummy cunts to chant globalise the intifada when the actual intifada involved Palestinians coming into Israel and stabbing people up.
People that are calling her racist are people that are still sore because she identified their hero Jeremy Corbyn as the rancid little toad that he is
Wengerbabies and NQ are presumably high fiving somewhere

I dunno. I’m in two minds.
She’s not saying she wants the whole school to join in, it’s just a private ceremony which to her is an important part of her faith.
You could make a reasonable argument that children should be forced to take part in religious ceremonies at school, but I’m not sure it’s reasonable that they should be prevented from doing so.
The point is that to pray during the school day means you are requiring special treatment, the Michaela school is in Wembley where there is a big Muslim community and yet only this child has sought this privilege. If they want to pray they can do so at any time during the day when not at school.
I don’t believe the state should cater for religion in anyway, it should be a matter of individuals to find time for their religion outside of school - teachers and students alike. So this for me would include no wearing of the hijab, no religious iconography to be worn of any description. And RE to be a case of comparative religious studies, not a chance to inculcate pupils in prayer.
If we even permit faith based schools to exist (something I’m highly dubious about) they absolutely should get no Tax exemptions
