A Roman Catholic schoolgirl has been labelled a truant after she refused to wear a headscarf during a compulsory trip to a mosque.

Amy Owen, 14, and fellow girl pupils at a Catholic secondary school were told to cover their heads and wear trousers or leggings out of respect for their Muslim hosts.
But when her mother objected, saying she did not want her daughter to 'dress as a Muslim', she received a sternly worded warning letter from the headmaster saying she had no choice.

Peter Lee, head of Ellesmere Port Catholic High School in Cheshire, informed her that the local diocese 'requires' pupils to have an understanding of other religions.

In the letter - with words in block capitals and underlined - Mr Lee said the visit was 'as compulsory as a geography field trip'.
He added: 'There are two reasons for these visits. One is that the scheme of work in religious studies REQUIRES children to have knowledge and understanding of other world religions.
'The second is that the school is REQUIRED to promote tolerance respect and understanding. This is known as community cohesion.

'A failure to do this could result in an unwelcome inspection judgement. None of us would relish that.
'Whilst I may not require you to pay for this I must require your child to participate.'

Coming out of socialist UK. They could use another Thatcher or Pinochet, preferable Pinochet to rid it of leftists in a brutal and swift manner that involves dumping them into the ocean.

I've been to a few Jewish weddings, and was never sure whether I should wear the yarmulke that was given to me or not.  I didn't know if it would be disrespectful to wear it or to not wear it.  I never got a definitive answer.

I'd be looking forward to defecating on a prayer rug, and wiping my ass with pages torn from the Kuran.  :evillaugh:


That would be a field trip my kid would certainly take a ham and bacon sandwich for lunch to.  On pita bread.  With Kosher pickles on the side.
