Row breaks out after four-year-old told not to wear hijab to Catholic school



A Roman catholic school has angered many people due to the fact that they didn't allow a four year old Muslim girl to wear a headscarf to school. It is said that St Clares school in Hemsworth have a very strict uniform policy which includes no headwear or headscarf's. The school told the parents to respect there policy. The girls father went and told the Birmingham's city council's labour cabinet member of equalities, which they then wrote to the head teacher saying how there policy goes against the equalities act .

But his colleague Coun Majid Mahmood from Hodge Hill said that as a faith school St Clare’s is “maybe within its rights to insist upon a particular dress code,” just as a Muslim faith school “may require girls to wear headscarves”.

A former head of equalities for Birmingham City Council, agreed saying there is no religious requirement for girls of infant school age to wear the hijab.

I think that the school should have been more compassionate towards the parents because what they were basically saying is that there religion doesn't matter as long as their in the school building.  I also think that the girl should've been allowed to wear a hijab because that's her religion and if there religion says that they should wear a hijab you should respect it.

    You should should develop on the representation a bit more. Interesting article but i can sort of see where the school is coming from, because its a catholic school which means you have to be in that religion to get into that school so it would be odd for them to see another religion coming in and not following the rules. However with that being said if this was a normal state primary school and they said that they would be doing the most and it wouldn't be ok.

    There is a good amount of detail, also a very good story which represents religion in the media, however the picture at the bottom could have a description e.g. what he is doing and where he is.

"They told me to go jump off a bridge and kill myself': Plus-size model who shed 240LBS reveals she's been sent DEATH THREATS from 'fat activists' who are angry about her weight loss"  The source of this article is the Daily mail Plus-size model Rosie Mercado who lost 240lbs and had recently weighed 410lb said she was targeted by 'fat activists' who told her to kill herself after her She lost a sugnificant amount of weight.  fat activists are people that feel strongly against weight loss. which in my opinion I think its a little bit extreme because the media usually encourages people to live a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily and by exercising, so to here that there are people out there that are against weight loss is quite bizarre to me. Mum of 3 Rosie has stated that she doesn't ever regret losing the weight and is now living a happy and more healthy lifestyle. Rosie also spoke about the time that triggered her to go on her wei

London zoo gorilla broke enclosure glass twice before escape I recently found this story from the Guardian about a gorilla called kumbuka that escaped the enclosure at London zoo on Thursday evening it was reported that he broke out of his area and was later tranquillised by the vets and was brought back to his area. It has been reported that the london zoo have said that they are going to carry out a full investigation which has been described as a minor accident. Sources have stated that the cage door was left open. I chose this story because I usually here about animals escaping the zoo in movies and to here that a real life zoo animal escaped the zoo is quite astonishing. I also think that the zoo keepers should be more careful and should make sure that they close the cage, luckily for them no one was hurt.
