I'm sure there are many other establishments where she can follow the foibles of her cult.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.No one needs to make an exhibition of their piety. - I agree with that - the Romans and Jews dont go around demanding lah-dee-da.
But - - this is making a statement, and only peripheral to religion and I wd say nothing to do with piety
AND - the Butler Education Act does make provision for religious education in schools
this one is a secular school which is why they were doing it on blazzers in the playground.
I remember 1980 being told by a pious 15 y old, my Arabic was too muslim ( I am a christian see) and it was a real real heart-sink moment.... ( in the middle of nowhere, only Englishman around etc,camels, flies, the heat...bogs if you can call them that, didnt flush)
It is indeed a victory for common sense, and for enforcing the apparently unfashionable notion that the school is run by its head and its teachers, not its students.
As the judgement advises, the parents of the pupil chose the school on the basis of its ethos and disciplinary processes.
That chimes exactly with my wife's experience as a Deputy Head of an inner-city Catholic Primary School.
Moer than half the intake was from the local predominently Muslim community, who appreciated the Catholic pastoral ethos, and the disciplinary structure of the school.
There was never any hint of trying to change the ethos to a Muslim-based ethos, the Muslim parents, and children, were perfectly happy with things as they were.
It's time that the idea that bolshie teenagers can dictate educational policy was reversed, and a ruling like this sends out a clear message.

> I am inclined to agree, however in the interests of free choice...
Yes, but whose free choice? We were talking about Richard Dawkins recently on AB, and I was recalling The God Delusion. This wiki article of it covers it nicely:
https:/
[Dawkins] is most outraged about the teaching of religion in schools, which he considers to be an indoctrination process. He equates the religious teaching of children by parents and teachers in faith schools to a form of mental abuse. Dawkins considers the labels "Muslim child" and "Catholic child" equally misapplied as the descriptions "Marxist child" and "Tory child", as he wonders how a young child can be considered developed enough to have such independent views on the cosmos and humanity's place within it.
If you want to make a big specticle of ANY religion then go to one of their schools. Pretty simple really.
yeah but no but - not that simple - there have been muslim faith schools ( and even Koranic) in the interests of the er parents and thy were found to be beating the crap out of the boys ( that is the traditional quranic way of getting them to memorise the Book ( Hafez))
And anyway if Judges are involved, you never know why way a case will go
