Should we allow a situation such as this in our schools? And should this teacher be sacked?
Why do we skirt around issues that might offend other religions and yet ignore issues that might offend Christians?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Is is not interesting that SP1814 who is known to be black, when making witty comments, that show some of the posters views to be ridiculous gets accused of being aggressive. This appears to be an additional charge leveled. For those of us who are known to be white, this hasn't happened. Its not like some white people are not vociferous in their condemnation of the bigotry of this post/others and the Daily Mails inflammatory style. He may be many things, but judging by his posting, aggression isn't one. Mr B, I think you will have to look elsewhere.

You have hit nail on the head. I for one don't bother posting views on here much anymore as the "racist" brigade descend upon you at any comment that doesn't conform with their pc views. NJOK's silly, dissmissive reply is just another example.
I was trying to explain that there is a difference between being racist and being concerned about immigration. However, the problem we all face now is that racists have adopted your language (compare the NF literature to that of the BNP - they've become more politically savvy).
Therefore the reason people may assume you're a common or garden racist is because they're trying to sound like you...
Until they slip up and post something really dumb.
Your true racist is dumber than a pound of cheese.

That doesn't read correctly.

This is not Radio or TV it is words on a screen, please try and at least supply some counter arguments to sp1814.
Gromit In your haste to bend over backwards in support of your old friend sp1814, you are beginning to lose your once fairly reasonable debating skills. And sp1814 keeps getting in a mess that he has to re-post some of his sentences, so you both seem to be getting into rather a pickle.
I do not need you to tell me that these debates are words on a screen. Since sp1814 had obviously began to get rather aggressive as MrBen had rightfully pointed out. I was illustrating the fact that certain ethnic groups seem to have very short fuses, and unlike the typical educated and tolerant English person cannot keep their calm when losing the argument.
You are always slagging off The Daily Mail Gromit, what paper do you read? Perhaps if you will not tell us, perhaps other ABers could name which paper they think it is?
STOP PRESS:
Schools are teaching children about Hilter and the Nazis and have even been showing impressionable children footage of rallies and speeches. The schools claimed it was a History lesson, but it is really indoctrinating by the BNP. Teacher Cecil Molesworthy told the Daily Lie, we are going to do Stalin next week.
This is so silly Gromit, why did you spend your time typing it out, it isn't even funny please don't try and copy sp1814 he does at least raise one or two laughs.

I read a proper Tory Newspaper not a comic, the following posts might give you a clue.
