What's annoying about this whole debacle is that the parents of two kids have held a whole school to ransom on the grounds of religious belief.
Ok, fine....but..
Eid means shutdown for Blackburn school (From Lancashire Telegraph)
A whole school is closed because the majority will truant because of the parents religious beliefs...what about the minority who will not truant, whose parents don't share those beliefs and are trying to earn a living, but will have to arrange and pay for childcare or lose 3 days wages.
This is what winds people up...it's always a one way climbdown...it's all give..give..give..and no take!
