Teacher Suspended For Punishing Boys Who Refused To Kneel To Allah

Good. Considering the fact she violated their human right to Freedom of Conscience, it is possible she ought to lose her job.

However, the school is claiming the suspension "is not a disciplinary measure."

Maybe the school itself ought to be de-commissioned.

From the Daily Mail:

A teacher was suspended yesterday amid claims she punished two children who
refused to worship Allah during a religious education lesson.

Alison Phillips, head of RE at Cheshire's respected Alsager High
School, allegedly disciplined the Year 7 duo claiming they were disrespectful
for refusing to kneel down and pray.

After giving the two boys detention the school was believed to have
received several complaints from parents about the long-standing teacher.

A school spokesman said she was suspended over the allegations - but also
for 'ongoing inquiries centred around other practical issues'.

Joan Feenan, director of Cheshire County Council's children's services,
said: 'This authority is naturally concerned about complaints we have received
from parents.

'Together with the school, we will be thoroughly investigating those
complaints, in a careful and considered manner, and informing parents of the
conclusions reached.

'Educating children in Christian and other religious beliefs is part of
the national curriculum in secular schools and I'm sure that the great majority
of our parents welcome any efforts to further mutual understanding.

'Having said that, this authority also accepts without question that
such teaching should be carried out with awareness, sensitivity and sound common
sense.

'I am confident that this matter will be resolved equitably.'

She also added that suspension was not a disciplinary measure.
