This excuse of a headmistress should be sacked immediately

[Dedworth]

I'd have to agree that a sacking is required.
Whatever she was thinking of when she wrote that letter we'll likely never really know, but in my mind in exposes a lot about the person.
Shocking and threating words.

I don't see anything wrong with children attending a workshop like this. The most important line is "They will not be undertaking any religious practices".

However, I don't see the need for the threatening paragraph, which is totally inappropriate.

And apology is required, but sacking would be a complete over-reaction.

Bullying, threatening, sinisterly trying to force kids to attend this absolute nonsense. Islam is a religion so how can the kids be labelled racist ?

This woman is a disgraceful waste of taxpayers money, totally unfit to run a school and should be fired

What a sad country the UK has become

That paragraph is totally inappropriate and badly worded.

But the idea of kids attending a workshop to learn about different religions is fine! Religion has played a huge art in world history and is a valid part of the curriculum. But, religion should not be practiced in schools and religious dogma should not be taught as fact.

1. Islam is a religion NOT a race.
2. The kids should have a choice as to whether they go or not.

... first off - disregarding the thread context - it strikes me as humorous that the Head Teacher at Littleton happens to be a Mrs Lynn Small! ... "small by title - and small~minded" would seem an apt reference to both her name AND - notably, more alarmingly - her teaching methods.

Secondly, a person with radical s like hers is unsuited to being in overall charge of children at such an impressionable age, until she's made aware, in no uncertain terms, of the error of her ways.

Thankfully, she's had the "good grace" to apologise.

If my kids were young there is no way they would be going to anything to do with that dammed religion
