A school stands accused of making teachers and students wear Islamic attire for a day – to celebrate a Muslim festival.
Kids at a 257-student primary school in Britain have also been told to don ethnic garb even though most are Christians. The morning assembly was open to all parents – but dads were barred from a women-only party in the afternoon because Muslim husbands object to wives mixing with other men.
Their are 41 staff members of which only 2 are actually Muslim. A relative of one staff member said the faculty is more or less forced to go along with the festival, or risk being branded a racist.
“Who would put their job on the line? They have been told they have to embrace the day to show their diversity. But they are not all happy.”
School officials claim the purpose of the Muslim festival is to belatedly celebrate the end of Ramadan, and to promote multi-culturalism as part of a “diversity project.”
