Halal Easter eggs and halal hot cross buns? - Am I just being plain silly? - Well, no. If you go to Oakwood Comprehensive in Rotherham , they have just attempted to put together a CHRISTMAS meal based entirely on halal chicken.This is offensive on so many levels! Fortunately Head Teacher Jan Charters has been put in her place with the exercise of some parent power and has had to backtrack.
I disapprove of the cruelty; the hypocrisy when compared to foxhunting; the anti-Christian bias; the pro-Muslim bias; the political correctness; the misuse of education; the simplistic thinking and a great deal more besides.
We had to set up a Christian School purely as a response to these sort of idiotic practices - oh, incidentally - a significant proportion of our youngsters are from Islamic backgrounds. If you wish not to offend - the best way is to show that you are not totally wet. That earns respect!
A number of our pupils come from the catchment area of Oakwood!
Is it not a scandal that our parents have had to set up a school and have to PAY to educate their children [after already having paid their taxes] as they are so desperate to remove them from the multiple problems evidenced in current state education?
