(UK) Teacher sacked after 'making pupils kneel and pray to Allah' during RE lesson
-- "Alison Phillips was accused of giving two pupils detention after they refused
to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during the class."
-- "Parents were outraged after stories emerged that the two boys, aged 11, were
allegedly punished for not wanting to take part in a practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped."
-- "They said children should not be forced to take part in the exercise, which
included wearing Muslim headgear, was a breach of their human rights."
-- "But governors at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent, denied Mrs Phillips
made pupils pray or that two boys were put into detention for refusing to do so."
-- "'The RE lesson in question contains an element of role play which complies with acceptable practice.'"
-- "Parents had claimed that their children were made to bend down on their
knees on prayer mats which the teacher had got out of her cupboard."
