Baroness Warsi – the Minister for Faith and Communities

rusty, as you said it’s a mine field

to quote you……….

I’m perhaps more inclined to associate Easter with chocolate, bunnies and baby chickens than anything that is religiously significant, perhaps the child’s parents made similar assumptions.
……..no they are muslim, was nothing to do with chocolate and bunnies

I’m not sure it’s just religious people from the faiths you mentioned that are prone to withdraw their children from RE classes

……….that is exactly the case in the school where i work

Hi Tinks,

Although I’m often way too keen to put my oar in, I can’t claim to have the hands on experience that you have, so I’m just glad that I identified it is a complex issue. I hope the school where you work has found a way of addressing this tricky problem, it would be interesting to know the solution they employed.

Thanks for your comment.
