If so, do you have any idea why it disappeared - I certainly didn't report it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A supernatural visitation may have had something to do with that unexplained occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll assume you reported it yourself because you were embarrassed by it, then. Shame about the follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chorba Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It has infuriated me today that a young boy has been refused from joining the scouts because he is athiest.Now all his mates are going camping without him.As a child this would have been a severe punishment for me as my single parent dad couldnt afford holidays and camping with the scouts were my only breaks which were fantastic. Also my son who is 5 has school dinners where there is a coloured band system for them to choose either vegatarian halal and non halal.Because sometimes he didnt like the non halal meal i would put him the band on for the halal meal which he liked.My child is white and at the moment doesnt have a religion and hopefully never does but thats his decision to make. This went on for mths and surprisingly he often returned home hungry saying i had chosen him the wrong food.One day i took him and his moslym friend to school who saw what coloured band i had put him on and he allerted me to the fact that the teacher would only take it off as he wasnt allowed halal because he wasnt of the moslym faith.This his teacher comfirmed so i set off straight to the office to find out why my son was being discriminated against.They said i had to fill a consent form in and phone the sheffield council to have it okayed.This they did but was this necessary i ask ! This is revolting! Leaving a child with no food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedar Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We eventually stopped our 12 year old going to Guides because of things like this. The kids were given sweets if they attended the Church Parades etc but singled out and humiliated if they didn't. They were asked if they had been baptised and the ones that hadn't were basically told they were going to hell...stuff 'em!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad move. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20584208 Yes, good for them. Pleased to see that you acknowledge that after your earlier comments. I always applaud people that change their opinion on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It looks rather like they have been forced into a humiliating about face by public pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
