Parents were ordered to send their children to a workshop on Islam or have them labelled as racist for the rest of their school career.
They were sent a letter warning that the primary school pupils would have a ‘racial discrimination note’ put on their records if they did not go.
Families were told to pay £5 per child for the Explore Islam trip next Wednesday to Staffordshire University, which would involve Year 4 and Year 6 children being shown Islamic artefacts.
Mothers and fathers were warned: ‘Refusal to allow your child to attend will result in a Racial Discrimination note being attached to your child’s education record, which will remain on this file throughout their school career.
‘All absences on this day will be investigated for their credibility and will only be sanctioned with a GP sick note.’
Yesterday parents at Littleton Green Community School in Huntington, Staffordshire, said the threat to the pupils aged between eight and 11 was ‘ludicrous’. Gillian Claridge, 55, said: ‘How dare they threaten to brand the children racist at such a young age? It’s going to make them feel like little criminals.
‘The very nature of religion is all about choice. On this occasion they were not being given any choice at all. It was a draconian move and it’s left a lot of parents fuming.’
Stacy Waldron, 26, whose eight-year-old daughter is a pupil, said: ‘I feel my child will be [seen as] racist if I don’t allow her to go. This is my choice, not hers, and she shouldn’t have to pay for it.’
South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson described the threat as ‘bonkers’ and ‘a very heavy-handed approach’.

I suspect it is the school’s policy that all white children are racist anyway so what is the difference if it is written down somewhere?
JoMa
Yes, and Islam also it not a religion — it’s a 7th Century death cult that serves as the radical Muzzies’ sick ideology.
As libs have been telling us for the last 12 years, Islam is not a race, it is a religion.
All muslims are radical. But we aren’t supposed to realize that until it’s too late.
Burn the school, the university and the mosque...allachocolatebar!
What race is “Muslims”?
Religion Of Peace Islamic Artifact #1 - Nick Berg
F’ Common Core and anything resembling it that preaches PC and conceals the real truth.
Strangely enough, in the Twenty-first century age of Islamic terrorism and Obama, the ‘racist’ label is increasingly becoming a badge of pride.
> Since when is Islam a race?
Its a race to death...
1) when is the trip to a Christian Church or Jewish temple scheduled?
2) is the school racist if they do not schedule them?
LOL.
it sure would be better, a lot better, if we all said NO to ANY further outreach to Islamicism, at least until it cleans up its act insofar as its viciously anti-Christian and anti-Jewish teachings AND all its violent assaults, church burnings, and bombings of Christians and Jews around the world.
no making nicey-nicey until they start behaving in a minimally- civilized, decent manner
But now, our “leaders” both in Church and government will continue to KISS Satan’s A*s
and they do it in our names.
Tenure isn’t the problem at all. That’s like blaming your plate for a bad meal. You can get rid of tenure, but the problem still exists.
By the read of the article, it doesn't look like it's getting many on their "hind legs"....

"My child will be seen as racist....bonkers...and, oooohhh....heavy-handed approach. Afraid to call it what it bloody is...militant.
Maybe children of liberals should be forced to visit the NRA and Christian Churches when we get power back. I’m sure the liberals wouldn’t object... and the New York Times wouldn’t care either... yep, the little jerks in the MSM wouldn’t care if we forced their children to see things our way.../s
Dear Schoolmarm,
Islam is NOT a RACE.
Islam is a religion that we fundamentally OPPOSE.
Please tell us when you conduct a CHRISTIAN field trip.
We anxiously await your apology for confusing RACE with RELIGION.
sorry that you disagree, but spreading the Gospel was one of the reasons the British Empire flourished.
