Vred forældre demonstrerer på Batley Grammar School i West Yorkshire, efter at en lærer angiveligt har vist stødende tegninger af Muhammad. Skolen llægger sig fladt.

Starten på skoledagen blev udsat på grund af demonstrationen. Demonstranterne blev opfordret til at dukke op uden for skolen via sociale medier, skriver ExaminerLive. De kræver nu, at læreren mister sit job. Rektor lægger sig fladt.

In an email sent to parents headteacher Gary Kibble apologised for the «inappropriate» resource used in the lesson.

It reads: «The school would like to thank the parents who contacted us on March 22 highlighting concerns with a resource used in an RS lesson that day.

«Upon investigation, it was clear that the resource used in the lesson was completely inappropriate and had the capacity to cause great offence to members of our school community for which we would like to offer a sincere and full apology.»

Skolen beskriver sig selv som følger på hjemmesiden:

We are a caring school of 960 pupils, with a real family atmosphere and a commitment to giving every boy and girl the individual attention they need to thrive. Our dedicated staff work closely with pupils and parents to maintain the highest quality education in a lively, happy environment which breeds success.
