In yet another assault on free expression in British classrooms, schools are being instructed by Labour councils to treat kids’ innocent drawings as potential offenses under Islamic interpretations.
Daily Mail (h/t Nita) The guidance has been issued to teachers across northern England as part of a publication intended to highlight ‘sensitivity and awareness around faiths and beliefs’. Sharing The Journey has been designed to help schools ‘demonstrate a sensitive and positive approach to religious and cultural diversity to pupils, parents and carers’.
It adds: ‘Schools will want to be flexible in catering for religious differences.’ This includes being aware of the ‘sensitivities’ that some Muslim parents may have around the ‘teaching of aspects of art, dance, drama, music, physical education, religious education and RSHE’.
The publication cites art as an example, stating that Islamic culture and civilisation has ‘a rich artistic tradition’ – but schools may find there are religious exceptions. ‘A three-dimensional imagery of humans is considered idolatrous by some Muslims,’ the guidance warns.
‘It is very important that the school understands this and is also careful not to ask its students to reproduce images of Jesus, Prophet Mohammed or other figures considered to be prophets in Islam. ‘Some Muslim pupils may not wish to draw the human figure.’
The guidance has been distributed to several schools, including within the local authority of Kirklees where Batley Grammar School is located, The Telegraphreported. In 2021, a religious studies teacher was suspended and forced into hiding after a furore erupted after he showed his pupils a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.
There are also guidelines around the teaching of music. ‘In Islam, music is traditionally limited to the human voice and non-tuneable percussion instruments as in the days of the Prophet, when they were only used in marriage ceremonies and on the battlefield.’
It adds that there is ‘a diversity of opinion regarding music amongst Muslims’ and schools should ‘ensure’ students are not asked to join in songs that conflict with their religious beliefs. For drama lessons, teachers should be mindful not to ask students to play parts that ‘may seem to compromise their faith’.
aint it nice to import the religion of freedom into your country and aint it nice to give them many new rights that you dont have, aint it nice to be allowed to pay for your removal of yourself, and aint it nice to see how they blow up or to stab abd to cut your fellow man, should this not be nice then go and ask the politician in your area why he and his buddys are importing this to you or to think about your voting expertise.
All the left-wing idiot bureaucrats who sign off on these “guidances” are too stupid to tell where it’s going,
They have the imagination of a discarded paper box that used to contain office staples……
and they hate those of us who actually can see anything.
“UNBELIEVABLE! Apparently UK schools are considered too Islamically extremist for Muslim students from the UAE to attend.”
How are we INFIDELS supposed to be able to tell the difference between various layers of Islam. There’s so much variety starting with “peaceful” cherubs like Cenk Uygur, radical Islamists like Anjem Choudhary, and confirmed enemies of all infidel-dom such as Sadiq Khan and Zohran Mamdani.
You consider Cenq a “peaceful cherub?” Maybe in the past, but now he’s as radical as many of the worst of them.
I do believe that turkey from turkeyland’s given name is “Chunk”, not cenq.
Suits him.
Parliament is on the verge of eliminating jury trials for felonies with less than three years prison time. Why? Imho it’s being done to leave women out of the jury pool. Moslems do not approve of females sitting in judgement of men.
Can the leadership in England get any more demonic, all that’s left is to bang their head on the pavement and say the vile shitada!!!
Islam forbids the representation of humans and other animals; it forbids playing musical instruments except a drum at weddings; it says if you hear a female singing you will have hot lead poured into your ears on judgement day; no dancing and certainly never M/F together; the only dancing is the wavering about in prayers ; there can be no physical contact between m/f ; Drama is out, so is PE unless girls are trying to do it in full islamic get-out head to toe so they don’t have to change and no-one can see any part of their body;
You can add to that no tatoos, no piercings and the insanity list goes on. I made a list once using my islamic law books and islamic text. Of course cutting out the girl’s clitoris and parts of her labia is fine and obligatory under shafii sharia and endorsed by the 3 other sunni law schools, but they try to cover /alter the actual text. Are we really going to destroy art, music, dance, theater, and so much more to comply with this barbaric, backward, repressive, soulless evil that denies the lovely, fun things in life. WAKE UP and STOP ISLAM.
Still adjusting to the idea that England of all places will be the first western country to truly collapse in to islamic hell.
It seems like it, but living here in the UK I have heard at grass roots level that the people are ready for a Political fight or if need be a Physical fight if it is needed. Most people know what is going on with Sir Stalin Starmer in Power.
He is a full time lier.
” “We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When the lies don’t work totalitarian states universally rely on brutality to enforce the narrative.
You have to wonder what Orwell would think of the UK in the 21st century…
