    In this country we are free to peacefully follow, preach or query any religion or none.

    These are hard-won freedoms that must be upheld by all public institutions. Reports of intimidation in Batley set a deeply unsettling and potentially dangerous precedent.

    Well yeah nobody should have their head chopped off.

    But they aren’t really comparable, and I reckon if I went into a random pub in Kilburn and shouted “**** the Pope” there’s a good chance I’d have my head kicked in.

    I think it should be possible to discuss the topic in RE classes but there’s no need to show a cartoon if you know that’s going to be deeply offensive to someone. Context, as ever, is important.

    This is the bloke that wouldn't condemn a beheading for this teacher who exercised freedom of speech. How these violent religious bigots enrich our country.

    why are the police not arresting people and giving them covid fines

    “Students launch petition to save teacher suspended for showing Muhammad cartoon” The teacher was whisked away from his home on police advice over death threats. Sadly it will not be safe for him to teach there again. Stark reality.

    Prophet cartoons ‘shown before’ at school that suspended teacher

    Protesters gathered for a second day after a teacher showed pupils a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad
    DANNY LAWSON/PA
    Cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad had previously been shown to pupils at a school that suspended its teacher after protests over a lesson, parents said yesterday.

    More than 13,000 people had signed a petition last night demanding the reinstatement of the teacher who used the caricature. Some families said he had been scapegoated over the issue. The petition was set up by pupils of Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire, which has closed and switched to online learning.

    Sponsored
    A second day of protests took place outside the school yesterday as Robert Jenrick, the communities secretary, criticised the demonstrations and said it was “very disturbing” that the teacher was now in hiding. Gavin Williamson’s education department had previously said that such protests were “completely unacceptable”.
