The school is not a religious school. It is simply a private school for girls. The headteacher is a she, not a he. Her name is Judy Harris. She has - it is reported - told the gym club that there are an increased number of Muslim children at school this year, and it is their families that are complaining. If she is receiving complaints, then she must know how many complaints she is receiving. Even if there were no complaints about anything, you would expect her to have some idea of the religious leanings of the families sending children to the school, especially non-Christian families who are liable to want to withdraw their children from any Christian assemblies that may be planned.

yes chris i did correct myself as to the type of school it is
and yes i did call her a he (sorry)but the point i am making is that no particular group of people should be able to use religious or cultural differences to dictate to others the way things should be
Has it not occured to anyone that if these "muslim" parents were that bothered about there girls comming into contact with boys then they could quite simply keep the girls in the classroom untill the boys were in the gym or not enrolled their children in the first place as it seems to be the recent influx of asians (muslims for chris's benefit)that are causing the problem and the gym club was there first
