The Poolie Bunker

Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hants, sent a letter informing parents and carers informing that their Easter Bonnet Parade and Easter Service will not be taking place this year.

Stephanie Mander, the school’s headteacher who sent the letter, has defended the move by saying it was out of “respect for diversity”.

There are no words..... pathetic wokism at it's worst.

Bet all the kids will be tucking into plenty of 'Easter' or should that be 'Festive' eggs!

The country is actually being broken down by those who should uphold our values.

Shouldn't all kids irrespective of religion, race etc be celebrating Easter in England, they are just kids at a primary school.
Afterall they are in England, a christian country, shouldn't they be integrating or at least respecting our culture.
Funny how their religious festivals are tolerated and don't muslims have their own faith schools.

What if I said I was offended by Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha in their schools!

I've made my views known very clearly on this forum but will take a step back because the facts speak for themselves.

And yes they are celebrating Refugee week later on in the year!!

Bye bye Christianity

How long before we all have to fast during Ramadan?

Not the right decision but I think she will be overruled by the Council who control what’s taught in schools.
Bye bye Christianity, if we Christians attended church more often it might help, over 3500 churches have closed in the last decade. When was the last time anyone on here attended a church for a Sunday Service ?

Aw……so it’s self inflicted…..there’s a surprise, it’s our fault. .
Maybe the churches are closing down because for years now they’ve been taken over by the same wet shower of liberal apologists and become glorified social workers of the new order.
‘Preachers and politics are poor companions’.

Tut tut Brian

Morning Mr 27! Tut tut my proverbial. I had to respect Ramadam for five years when I lived in the Gulf - we had to totally respect their religion - and we had no problem in doing so - we accepted the beliefs of our hosts - but folk come into our land and do exactly as they wish - and we let them, even when it means removing/ hiding/ destroying the behaviours which have been developed over centuries.

Anyway, you are now officially off my Easter egg list.

I wonder if she'll cancel the schools' Nativity play next?

Am i right in saying that if she had cancelled other pupils celebrations(non Christian), Then she would have been branded a Racist.

exactly. having an easter festival, nativity plays etc. does not mean you are disrespecting ramadan. there are other religeons in this country like jews, hindu,s sikhs and buddists but its only bloody muslims you ever hear about.

its a completely different subject and they can do both without a problem. just what goes through the minds of these people is a worry as i seriously doubt the local immam would have asked her to act in this fashion. bet she signed the letter Ms. as that type seem to do. hope the school governers have some balls and act the way a lot of parents will want them to do.

She obviously does NOT want children to integrate.

Fully agree with you Brian, I had to do the same in Saudi.

I was in Saudi too - the Eastern Province - based out of Khobar and working as far up as Jubail (who I also played rugby for). Early 80s - it was half way between Mediaeval and the Wild West. Saw an execution on my first Friday in the Kingdom - an experience never to be forgotten. Where were you?

to be fair to her i think she has cancelled all religeous festivals and not just christian ones. like christmas has become its something atheists celebrate to the point where they still buy easter eggs for there kids without thinking twice about doing it or affecting there lack of faith. guess many muslims also buy kids christmas presents without that affecting their faith like the numbers who turn up to our local christmas fair at our social centre with head coverings on.

Mostly on an American complex near Riyadh.

Phew- thanks for confirming - my anxiety has been through the roof at the prospect of another cancellation!

Hopefully they do something similar at your school Kettering?

Maybe your class could make a few boats in woodwork class, to show how the refugees could arrive on our shores.
Would be better than those rubbish rubber dinghies the Chinese are providing!

another business opportunity missed by us as we could have supplied all the boats they wanted due to our massive shipbuilding legacy.

May be they should make a few Trojan Horses

Am I still allowed to call you a puff

Let's be honest here. Most schools wouldn't do this so what's the background? Tiny examples are held up as if Armageddon is happening.

It already is happening:

We are having the piss taken out of us!

So what? They have Christmas trees in Dubai.

Begone with your sense of perspective!

Problem solved.
Teachers don’t care about Easter.
Teachers can work holidays
Well they don’t believe in it.

Well you'd get zero marks there Snowy.

Exactly the sort of reaction that I would expect from an over-educated denier of their own sexuality.

I'm gutted that muslims have stopped y'all going to your local church to mark Easter and celebrate Christmas. I thought everyone on here thought religion was bad, little did I know.

Cushty, get the buggers back for banning me off the French trip…and that cow in the juniors who banned me off the trip to the Lakes…

Ah Saint Tommy !

Listen if I want to identify as them that's their business......

know what you are getting at but even atheists in this country control how they behave via christian values. its a case of giving one religeon an inch for the sake of their rights and they are taking a mile due to the politicians. can see halal meat being the norm eventually where you have to search the town for someone selling non halal for the majority. the big concern is its not muslims who want the change and the re naming of our holidays or festivals whichever you want to call em, its those born and bred in this country who are the ones more interested, and not 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants either.

It’s basically a festival of rebirth of nature for me…chocolate eggs and sill little traditions that harm no one.
Atheists don’t attack church goers and church goers don’t attack atheists, they Co-exist.
This business at Eastleigh looks like a stand by the terminally outraged attention seeker sort..nowt new there.

Drifting away from the original subject though. A school, a SINGLE school, removed religion. Atheists are getting upset over it. Weird.

nobody mentions the number of extra unemployed there would be if everything associated with christmas and easter were cancelled and there would be bound for some muslims working in there jobs. will the local paki corner shop stop selling christmas and easter items because of someone offended on there behalf. we all know the answer to that one like tesco would not exist now if they only sold kosher products.

you are missing the point for me anyway. i,d be equally upset if a school in a mixed area refused to mention a festival of another religeon or its practises like halal. its not being upset as i,m not its just bloody annoying showing the state of this country. doubt that school is the only one as we see over the issue of nativity plays.

If it's a secular school then fine. Where's the problem. There are other schools which are religious if that is one's thing.
