Subject: RE: Fuck-All tae dae wi' music ljc
There was little sign of intolerance or fanaticism at the schools I attended. People who were of non Christian religions were excused service/assembly and had rooms they could assemble together temporarily (approx 125 out of a school of 800)or invited to attend without joining in prayers. For the most part Muslims, Jews and a few Communists sat in with their Christian friends, because after the short service there were announcments and other activities that included them. Respect for all was the norm, and racism was simply not tolerated by the staff. Now it seems that a vocal minority are offended by any display of worship. Strange isnt it?
