I am 63 years old, and quite open minded, but over the past few days l have heard several different ' stupidity situations' which makes me put this on the forum

1) A friend of mine was forced by his council to remove England flags from his windows in case it offended religious beliefs

and 2) the above, l cannot believe that this eclipse was banned for kids on cultural and religious reasons

What a load of rubbish. Who is it going to offend, Its nature, its OUR solar system and part of education.
