Depends on the school. Religious schools tend to focus on theirs in my experience and like any subject area some teachers are only comfortable with what they know and teach that.
It's not difficult, just Google it. I found it, but I won't post incase anyone is offended.I was not trying to be clever ...but you was & failed ..
Are you forgetting the lockdown?the right to free speech and the right to peaceful protest are all part of the same basic rights we have in this country.
They're trying to take away our right to peaceful protest, free speech will be next if we're not careful.
The example you've given about driving at 150mph makes no sense, it's illegal to do that, it's not illegal to peacefully protest, (yet).
Protest should be exempt (in a democracy) from lockdown rules as it was in lockdown 1Are you forgetting the lockdown?
Yeah... It is breaking current rules isn't it which people get fined for. That's probably the point about fining them.
Me driving at 150 is breaking rules too but if I say it's a protest its OK?
In which case there's a perfect loophole. Just claim protest.Protest should be exempt (in a democracy) from lockdown rules as it was in lockdown 1

Pretty sure I know which is more scary to a kid's wellbeing.
Full investigation and criminal charges. Oh dear.
Well they can't get him for blasphemy but some drip might claim its a hate crime, then all bets are off.that should never be allowed to happen, hopefully it won't.

Agreed, we've normalised mocking Christianity, other religions shouldn't be off limits.there shod be publication of these images everywhere in the newspapers and Social media and just end this nonsense once and for all

Edit: and I doubt that the teacher was mocking anyway.

Reading the message from students he was educating against Islamophobia... only to be jumped on by a bunch of deranged Islamists. Some people really don't do themselves any favours.Suspect he did the same as the French guy, showing some of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons in some lesson around free speech. Maybe if these people can't handle it they should leave for a country that also executes anyone who defames him with a picture

I don't share your view that this small group of fanatics is suddenly going to start dictating curriculum policy. I do think that if teachers are a bit more discerning about how they handle culturally sensitive stuff, then you can easily remove any reason for these guys to show up in the first place, and I don't think that's a cost which is too much to bear.
Why I don't think faith schools are a good idea and why free schools exacerbate the situation. No surprise a lot of institutions wanting to set up free schools have religious backing. Get them young before the brain is developed enough to rationally question what they're being told.

How do you know he wasn't?
Was it crucial to the lesson plan that he showed it? Did he deliberately plan the lesson knowing it might cost him his job?
Without seeing the lesson plan or him deliver it how can anyone answer that?
What is the sex education that would be ok?

Well assuming he knows the potential of pictures of Mohammed to offend, presumably he decided it was so important to his lesson plan anyway that it was worth the potential controversy/disciplinary action. Was it really worth it?
If he didn’t know, I’d suggest he maybe wasn’t the best person to teach RE in the first place.
He probably wasn't thinking 'this'll piss them off let's go for it', nor was the French teacher who was killed for the same thing. Still clear to see which way your bread's buttered though and it's not with the young man with his family under police guard.
I understand why you would naturally back the teacher in this scenario, but it seems to me like he’s failed in the most fundamental part of his job, which is ensuring a safe learning environment for his pupils. Not sure I’d want this guy teaching my kids, knowing he’s prepared to gratuitously bait fundamentalist lunatics in the name of a trivial free speech ‘victory’ (or even worse, out of pure ignorance)

You may be right about the teacher but this argument goes beyond his actions now.
Quite simply we cannot give in and say that Islam cannot be criticised or ridiculed (same goes for any institution, country or religion).
I constantly stick up for Muslims when people seek to tar them all with the same brush because of the actions of a few.
I defend their right to protest about these issues.
But we need to make it clear and put it to bed once and for all that in this country we have the right to free speech (not for long the way the tories are going).
If this teacher loses his job, or worse gets prosecuted, it won't be the end of it.
