Do you mean American texts as in "Color" and "Specialized" ?
If so, kids are getting more and more americaniZed with the internet and youtube etc.
It is really funny seeing what some people think we do and don’t teach in school. Thanks to Michael Gove we have to teach ‘British values’ in PSHE and can no longer teach American texts in GCSE English. But yes we do also teach not to behead someone over a religious disagreement.
To kill a mockingbird no longer on the syllabus? I enjoyed reading that at school.It is really funny seeing what some people think we do and don’t teach in school.

Everyone’s entitled to freedom of speech it’s a cartoon ffs, hopefully the police will be fining them all
We're both right. It is in Wales.No it isn’t.
Why would they be fined, surely them protesting is exercising their freedom of speech.Everyone’s entitled to freedom of speech it’s a cartoon ffs, hopefully the police will be fining them all

Yeah. Protesting is... just about fine in my eyes, if distasteful. Sticking his name on social media somewhat less so. That's surely incitement in some way.Lockdown I guess....
Unless "Freedom of Speech" is a way around it?

Is talking shit part of the wanker religion too?Mate as long as you’re protesting for BLM or in some anti male demonstration anything goes

I don't know what it's like in other schools, but an RE teacher I used to know, it was (nowadays) as much about showing the differing faiths in the world (including agnosticism/atheism) as championing one / many faith(s). That seems reasonable to me.
Just trying to learn.If it was, you would be our Pope
Problem is, take away the right to protest, and we really are heading down a dark path. You can police *how* the protest takes place, of course.In which case just label a get together as a protest and do what the fuck you want...
Oh good, this again.
The cranks organising the protests are the kind of people which every school can do without - even local Muslim groups say they’re unhelpful and wish they’d stay home. But they do it for a reason, and to provoke a certain reaction, and as long as the same people keep giving them the ammunition they’re looking for, then it’ll probably keep happening.
Freedom of speech is paramount, of course. But there’s no harm in remembering that it has different limits for different people, and that there are better hills to die on than a secondary school RE class.
I don't think RE has a place in school at all.

Well that's my point, you can police how, but the principle of being allowed to, should stay. The difficulty in that is when it's an anti lockdown protest of course...Can still protest without standing close together in big crowds surely? Especially in this day and age.
Just saying "it's a protest" shouldn't be a loophole else there's no point having the rules, surely?

I don’t understand why it’s not enough for them to follow their faith rather than protest when others don’tSo yeah, if they are all crowded in together when there's a lockdown then treat them the same as if it was a group of lads meeting up for a smoke or something.
Just label it a "protest" and job done.
If they were really so offended, surely a good protest would be to take their kids out of the school?
Are all these people protesting all the time booking days off work to do it?
IMO RE should be used to teach values such as tolerance, respect and friendship for example. It can be done without having to go into the finer detail of any particular religion.Disagree, although I think it should be taught within History lessons. It's interesting in that context.

Good pointI don’t understand why it’s not enough for them to follow their faith rather than protest when others don’t
I say it with a heavy heart knowing my Christian faith is bang to rights in terms of history and for many today still feeling the judgment from religious leaders for being gay or getting divorced or terminating a pregnancy. Let’s talk and understand not offend, shout and aggressively impose are beliefs on othersGood point
It's clear what giving his name out all over social media is designed to do...they want some nutjob , like in France to do their dirty work and get rid of this teacher .Yeah.
