School.... where we are forced to shut our mouths, stop playing, do what they say and when they say it, eat what they give us, learn what they teach us or else, we be in big time trouble. This news report is just the same thing, except something about religion is in it.

i have done RS (religous studies)
and enjoyed it, learning about other faiths
for me its good to know about others then it is to be ignorant about them.
now those people that say we shouldnt have those classes should tell their schools to excempt their kids from the classes.
Kids are the future and that future will be better if they know the faiths of others,
example
Muslim kids knowing about christians, Hinuds and so on
Christian kids knowing about Muslims and so on
for this teacher (being a muslim my self) forcing someone to do something against their will should get the sack. he should have made it optional not manditory.

Religion shouldn't be taught in schools IMHO. It has no basis in fact, and religion itself is responsible for a lot of problems (whether people like to admit that or not).

There is a huge difference between learning about a religion in school and being forced to practice it or face discipline. So this story disgusts me in that regard but kudos to the student for having the back gone to defy his teacher even when he was faced with disciplinary action.
We can teach religion, religious history, and philosophy in school without having the students participate in prayers and rituals as part of the curriculum.

These damn muslims! Damn them!! %%^#$ we nuke the whole place for all I care blah blah....back to where they came from. At least they didn't behead them. Just kidding haha.
Did I mention when I was in primary school I was forced to pray with my hands together with christians, or I would get in trouble.
I also had to listen to all sorts of rules and follow any orders they told me, that had nothing to do with religion

I am looking at what is going on in England and feel sick and sorry - English has let themselves down by letting this happen to their children - I hope something like this never happens in Latvia.
Sick and sorry, for what? england let this happen to children?
No a single teacher made it happen.
Damn, media really does control people. This is worrying me.
