Roman Catholic schools in the UK provoked outrage when they announced that they would not teach students about Islam in religious studies courses, opting instead to make lesson plans revolving around Judaism.
This move was brought about by recent changes in the British educational system which mandated that schools must teach about two religions as opposed to one, although it is up to individual schools to determine which two they would cover in classes.
These reforms were necessitated by a recent attempt to indoctrinate Muslim students in Birmingham with radical teachings, convincing educators of the need to combat religious fundamentalism in schools.
Keep reading to see how religious leaders reacted to the Catholic schools’ decision:
An absurd allegation that should be dismissed out of hand.
AMERICA is why your not here to Tell UAS what to do !!!

They teach Catholic because they are catholic. Why is it so hard to understand?
Why it’s animalism

We dont hate them but would love to see them leave.
Catholics need to uphold their religion.
In England you can withdraw your child from RE with a simple letter to the school, it’s the law. Religious Education (RE) must be taught by all state-funded schools. However, it has an unusual position on the curriculum: it is part of the basic curriculum but not the National Curriculum, and is one of two subjects (along with sex and relationship education) where parents have a legal right to withdraw their children from class.
See 1.2 RE in local authority maintained schools Religious Education is a component of the basic curriculum (but not the National Curriculum) and is compulsory for all pupils in local authority maintained schools aged 5 to 18 years unless they are withdrawn from these lessons by their parents, or withdraw by their own choice after their 18th birthday. (The provision applies to school sixth forms, therefore, whereas no equivalent is in place for 16-18 year olds in sixth form colleges or other further education institutions.) They are not obliged to give a reason, and the school is expected to comply with the request. The statutory provisions relating to religious education are contained in sections 69 and 71 and schedule 19 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, as amended.
