Easter celebrations cancelled at Primary school

I was trying not to give too much information about a school. Is that a crime? Maybe it is these days.

Maybe some have converted! I have no clue.

Good grief.

"There are no white children in this school at all. So no Christians I'm guessing. "

It wasn't a guess then.

No Oreo, it's not a big assumption on the case I was talking about.

They are all Muslim children. No white children in the school. All Muslims.

So there you have it.

True to an extent, but more wars are about acquisition of land.

Subjective relationship with theologies.

Though it would be a wonderful world of knowledge to respect and learn about other belief systems, many parents do not believe in this format.

If parents wish, they could send their child or children to a Catholic or Protestant school verses a Government Public School.

This is very sad, as children, do not have a racist bone in their bodies. They are open and play with all children, white, black, Catholic, Protestant, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish etcetra.
It would make a better world !

Just turn one´s head and take a look at this world .. Most of the wars have been because of a racist nature or a theology ..

Yes, it is.

Anyway, must get started on my Easter bonnet. No time to waste.

😂 please post a pic when you’ve made it.

Eh? Not all Christians are white. There are over 700 million Christians in Africa and 26 million in India where Christianity is the third largest religion.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s a big assumption that Christians are all white isn’t it?And I think a lot of the Windrush generation and their families are too.

I am white, I was raised as a Christian.I have never , ever had any dealings with an Easter bonnet.

I too struggle with Easter time. I vividly recall my son sobbing when he saw a depiction of Christ being crucified.

We're all different? Surely?

My children celebrated all the religious festivals at playgroup, the teachers didn’t try and indoctrinate the children but taught them tolerance of another persons faith. I can still recall my DFiL face when my eldest wished him a happy Diwali, and when he asked my DS what he had learned he was able to explain what the festival related to. My DFiL a committed Christian was delighted my DS was being taught tolerance of other faiths. Perhaps if we had more of this type of lessons there could be greater acceptance of others.

That's rather an assumption.

A colleague many years ago was Indian and a practising Roman Catholic.
Some of my family are from the Caribbean and are Roman Catholic, another is Anglican.

Well it wasn't really an assumption. Just going on what my daughter in law has said.

But it matters not. Most of these children would not celebrate Christmas or Easter, they would celebrate Ramadan etc

But this school has managed to teach their pupils about all religions and their celebrations which is surely a good thing

Oh dear!! I thought her national religion of our country was Christian. For the last 78 years I have been under a false impression apparently. I think all religions are welcome in our country but on the understanding that this is our national religion and as such should be respected. I would take my kids out of that school. Does she believe in the ten commandments or is it okay to kill and steal etc.......What a creep.

? 😕

Good one, jaxjacky. I hope it will feature now in MSM.

Thank you rulaIt's educative to see which MSM papers are carrying this news with a "shock horror headline".

Only a segment, the others have refrained as its at best half a story and taking it further involves unsubstantiated allegations.

Now followed up by the usual suspects crying "woke!" " our society destroyed". They are responsible for making this into a pile on, as you say having to involved the police and so on. No doubt threats.

My daughter in law is a primary school teacher. There are no white children in this school at all. So no Christians I'm guessing.

She loves teaching these children. But they celebrate Christmas, Easter, Ramadan, yom kippur and probably more.

No parents have complained about celebrating Christmas and Easter and learning about other faiths. Hopefully all schools will evolve like this.

I've read that this head had to leave her school with the aid of the police yesterday lunchtime. No idea if that's true or not but they've been inundated with phone calls/emails/ texts etc etc.

In today's world we need to think. With social media the way it is there is a massive pile on and it becomes an horrendous ordeal for the people concerned.

Maybe it was inadvisable to send this letter out. Sure, cancel the wretched bonnet competition.

But let's try and evolve into educating without upsetting too many people. This has grown legs now. I wouldn't be surprised if she resigns, which would be a shame

Easter is the most important date in the Christian calendar. All children in this country, being educated in our schools, irrespective of whether its a church school, should be educated as to what it is about. I am sure Ramadan, Eidd, Passover, Hannakah, Diwalli etc are all taught. Will they be off school on Good Friday and Easter holidays? Why? Surely this woke nonsense has gone too far. Our culture and foundations are being lost. I hope the feast is celebrated and taught and the head and governors reflect. Christianity is the most inclusive of all religions demonstrating love, forgiveness and compassion. The head is being exclusive anti-Christian IMO

What, because an Easter bonnet event is cancelled? As said repeatedly, we have not got the information as to the path the school will take to respecting and information on religions.

I agree with this ! Best reply on this thread !!

If it's a multi cultural school then I think they should either celebrate all religions or none at all and my preference would be to celebrate all to encourage children to have a better understanding of the world around them.
As for the Easter bonnet parade, surely that's just a bit of fun for all to take part in, as far as I'm aware there's no religious background to this
