Thanks for the link. KEEP. RELIGION. OUT. OF. SKOOL
"Schools can develop the spiritual, moral social and cultural aspects of their children
and school life by recognising and building upon the essence and spirit of Ramadan."
why? keep religion out of skool.
"Teachers can take this opportunity to be more inclusive and teach pupils about
Ramadan in religious education and to invite guests from the Muslim community to
take collective worship or assemblies"
why? keep religion out of skool.
"The majority of pupils who are fasting are able to take part in most physical activities
during Ramadan without putting themselves at risk or in danger. Fasting may make
some children feel tired or drowsy, or even develop headaches due to dehydration.
This may necessitate some Muslim pupils having to reduce their physical exercise.
Schools may wish to consider and plan less strenuous activities in physical education
lessons during Ramadan."
why? keep religion out of skool.
"No oral medication can be taken by a person who is fasting. Anyone needing regular
medication during fasting hours is normally exempt from fasting in any case.
Medication can be taken once the fast has ended. Medical injections can be taken by
a person who is fasting, although not those injections that influence body nutrition."
Better not have an accident that requires a saline drip then huh?
"When Ramadan falls during the winter months, after-school detention or activities for
a pupil who is fasting could mean that the pupil is not able to reach home in time to
break their fast. Whilst accepting full responsibility for breaching school rules,
schools should be aware that pupils are able carry out their religious duty of breaking
the fast on time. A drink or anything to eat is sufficient and many schools do make
this provision available when required. Some parents may request that their children
break the fast at home with their family."
(my italics) So if they do request this, then the kids piss about in class then what?
"Festival of Sacrifice (Eid ul-Adha)
Eid ul-Adha celebrates the completion of the Hajj (the annual pilgrimage to Makkah)
In many countries after the public prayers, those who can afford to, sacrifice a lamb or
a goat to signify the Prophet Ibrahim’s (Abraham’s) obedience to God, shown by his
readiness to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael)."
Yeah, cos killing your kid cos of voices in your head should be celebrated.
"Schools can recognise and celebrate the Eid festivals by highlighting the importance
of the message of Eid through collective worship and assemblies. Schools may want
to share sweets amongst all children to mark this event."
I wouldn't want my kids propagandised with any form of intolerant religious bullshit, whatever the religion.
"In the vast majority of primary schools, when changing for PE, both boys and girls
have no choice but to change in mixed group environments for sports activities.
Muslim children are likely to exhibit resistance to this sort of compromising and
immodest exposure, but are often pressurised to conform to institutional norms which
do not take account of their own or their parents’ beliefs and values."
wow, like all religions, the brainwashing starts early.
"In secondary schools, changing facilities are always gender specific but almost always
communal. Communal changing compromises the Islamic modesty requirements and
having to change down to their undergarments in the presence of their peers and
teachers can be a source of embarrassment or even be undignifying for many pupils"
ffs.
"Some schools may have policies for children to shower at school after sports
activities. These arrangements sometimes take the form of naked communal
showering, which involves profound indignity. The practice of allowing Muslim
children to shower in bathing costumes or shorts does not solve the problem if other
pupils are naked in the same communal shower area. Islam forbids nakedness in front
of others or being among others who are naked.
Muslim children should not be expected to participate in communal showering.
Sensitivity and understanding by school and staff in these matters will be much
appreciated by both Muslim pupils and their parents. One practical solution in a
school environment would be the installation of individual shower cubicles. In the
absence of separate cubicles for changing and showering, Muslim children should be
allowed to delay showering until they reach home."
profound indignity? just wow. not showering till they get home? what if (like when i was at school) PE was sometimes in the morning?

Mmmmm
Let's impose secularism on everyone, rather than doing the hard work of living together. Live and let live (as long as you all live the secularist way).
