Once again, Gary, you are being selective with your interpretation of facts.

Kymmy pointed out that if those incidents had occurred, it would be breaking the law, not using a "loophole" - valid point.

You, however, only highlighted the alleged issue in regards to Muslims, even though the Daily Mail article also pointed out
Quote:
The corporal punishment exemption also covers Sunday schools, home tutors and other people who are considered to be acting 'in loco parentis'.
They can still smack children as long as the punishment is 'reasonable' - the same rule as applies to parents.
But experts* suspect the real problems occur in madrasahs, although they believe it also an issue with some fundamentalist Christian Sunday schools.
You don't have to quote the whole article, as you intimated (boo hoo, everyone's picking on poor Gary....) - you just appear extremely selective in your quotes.

(as I pointed out before - what "experts"?)
