I think the school are wrong to kick them out either on religious, or independent school v everybody else, or one sex v the other. If the independent school wants a mature relationship with the outside community it should operate a reasonable policy. This is not a muslim bashing thread at all, some people on here find it just as wrong whether it's muslims causing it or not.

It may be based inside the school but is not inside of school hours as far as I can tell. These children are not being forced to go to the gym so I don't see the problem of peacefully coexisting. If the piece is to believed the lot being kicked out contain some in a vurnerable group (young). The attitude rather of one of compassion and understanding seems to be one of immaturity just applying some far reaching abitrary objection based solely on the gender (and if it is to be believed, religion in some cases).

If it were an ordinary comprehensive school it would be totally out of order. Let's be frank, the media coverage in general is not very weighted. On the one end of the scale you have all the wailing and nonsense about terrorism and inflamatory language but the other end of the scale is just as much as a nonsense talking about muslims in the abstract being "moderate" and dragging on "leaders" of the community that are not really represenative. Both sides of the coverage are just as daft.
