Problems with multiculturalism are now appearing on almost a daily basis and pose quite difficult problems to the establishment. This is not the UK that i know and was brought up in, educated in and have experience of............ I am glad that i lived in the era that i have done well over the half century. I do not understand most aspects of life today and my take...
bang on sqad, it's only going to get worse. We have too many right on ninnies in authority ably assisting the destruction of our own traditions on the altar of PC cobras.
Rastafarianism is very modern relative to other 'religions'.
Saying they all smoke the devils lettuce is wrong, TTT and otherwise objectionable.
As far as i'm aware (i'm not that aware) they only smoke on certain religious days to connect with their deities. I assume those of a young age do not smoke.
Either way, the culture of the Rastafarian regarding marijuana is moot to this thread as it's about the hair.. not that the culture does in its own time.
///Bet you a pound to a penny this kid doesn't even know about the origin of "Rastafarianisn"! ///
And you are basing that solely on your dismissal of everything of which you disapprove as 'cobras' (sic), I assume?
Because you certainly have absolutely no other evidence...
"Either way, the culture of the Rastafarian regarding marijuana is moot to this thread as it's about the hair." - err the basis for the fuss was the kids right to indulge in his "culture" - I was just pointing out that there are other aspects of the Rastafarian culture and that logically they will be the next things that will be forced on, in this case, the school.
You are a card, geezer. There's nothing logical, whatsoever, about the leaps in your reasoning.
Smoking is banned just about everywhere but the home, in any case.
The original Q is
'Was This Church Of England School Right To Ban Rastafarian Dreadlocks?'
The ruling was that the child was discriminated against, ergo the answer to the original Q is 'No'.
The spurious 'debate' which has ensued deliberately avoids this ineffable conclusion and just let's people have their usual AB rant.
Do you mean that the original question should have been: 'Do you agree with the overturning of this child's exclusion from school because of his dreadlocks?'
That's a completely different issue and what seems to be being 'debated'.
