A high court decision to uphold a prayer ban at one of the highest performing state schools in England has been welcomed by Rishi Sunak and Kemi Badenoch, who described it as a “victory against activists trying to subvert our public institutions”.
The case against Michaela community school in Brent, north-west London, which is famous for its strict discipline code, was brought by a Muslim pupil, known only as TTT in court proceedings, who claimed the ban was discriminatory and breached her right to religious freedom.

I’m thinking they don’t want a call to prayer seven times a day by students who face Mecca disrupting every single class.
The school is attempting to for secularism which in turn has pissed off muslims who want to pray to allah at lunchtime at said school.
It's only for this one school.
Ok though for mussies to do their thing.
The UK like America was founded in the beginning on a Judeo-Christian culture. But the elites and leftists want that to be forgotten. “The kids don’t need that”

Basics - “Muslims” A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.
another advertisement against the attempts to assimilate ‘a peculiar religion of the sand’ into British life.
“Ok though for mussies to do their thing.”

There are NO prayers allowed because it would disrupt.

The girl ONCE ENROLLED decided to challenge the school.
The school stood it ground and surprisingly - shockingly - won the case in their highest court.
Sucks to be that little trouble maker and her mom.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PRAYER IN THAT SCHOOL.
Ask ANY student before they take a test.
