Subject: RE: BS: School Gym forced to shut by Muslims UK
"parents of children attending a school do not run the school and have got no business telling a school what it can or cannot do."

Parents have a moral obligation to speak up if their child's school is endangering their physical or moral welfare. This is true whether the school is public or private.

Recently, a young girl committed suicide when the abusive teasing and bullying over pictures her mean-spirited ex-boyfriend circulated at school. The mother tried to get the school to intervene. They offered minimal efforts.The attacks were both verbal and physical.

I would have been there with a lawyer and sorted out the little shits really quickly. I hope the school is sued and the adults who refused to take charge are held personally responsible. If our children, by law, have to attend school then parent have a right and obligation to ensure that the school is safe according to their beliefs and standards.
