Non-Muslim students at Islamic school forced to wear headscarves
Female students at a new Islamic school will be made to wear head scarves regardless of their religion, it was revealed yesterday
The Madani High School in Leicester will be required by law to accept 10 per cent of its 600 pupils from a non-Muslim background.
But girls who are not Muslim will still have to abide by a rule insisting all female pupils cover their heads as part of the uniform.
Assistant principal Zainab Elgaziari said he did not regard the demand as a problem - despite the ongoing row over Muslim women's veils.
He said: 'I can't see why if a student wears a head scarf it should be an issue. It's the same as a shirt or tie - it's just part of our uniform.
'We will welcome students of other faiths. Indeed, there will be a quota set down by the Government, and we will abide by these rules.
'When you go to any school you know what the uniform will be. Like any school, we will have one - and in our case it will include a head scarf.'
The secondary school, a voluntary-aided state academy, will replace the city's existing Islamic Academy when it opens next September.
Yesterday Leicester City Council said it did not believe the scarves would deter non-Muslim parents from sending children to the school.
Education spokesman Hussein Suleman, who is also a member of the school's temporary governing body, said: 'We have to find a balance.
'Governors have to take into account the fact that 10 per cent can be of a non-Muslim background and use discretion where appropriate.
'At the same time, parents have a right to send or not send their children to this school. I hope discretion will be used if there are any disagreements.'
The school, which is not expected to make boys cover their heads, was also backed by Suleman Nagdi, of the Federation of Muslim Organisations.
He said: 'All Islamic schools have certain criteria for school uniform. I can't see anything different about the criteria they are setting in this instance

Hmmm yet if muslim girls go to a Roman Catholic or other private christian school they insist on wearing their veil (and this has happened). Double standards abound when Islam is involved because they have they have the threat of violence with them always. I bet these nonmuslim girls would not be allowed to wear crosses or *gasp* a tiny star of david necklace I saw one jewish girl wear. I am most amused by muslims writing comments on this site eagerly and greedily comdeming all the articles and comments against them while on THEIR sites all dissenting opinion is erased and banned. I do not see the Christian owner of this site banning muslim and nonmuslim islam supporters though. That should tell you something friends!
God Bless the USA and the Free World

Muslims should go to Muslim Schools and Christians should go to Christian schools. I f you can not adhere to the starndards of the academic institution at hand go to another one. All of the Christian teachers are perverts, is that why you do not want to go to your own schools?

Suit alleges sexual abuse at closed Catholic school
By Janet I. Tu
Seattle Times staff reporter
A lawsuit filed yesterday alleges extensive sexual and physical abuse of three boys decades ago at Kent's Briscoe Memorial School for Boys, a now-closed Catholic grade school owned by the Seattle Archdiocese and run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, a religious order.
The suit also says one of the boys was abused while living at Briscoe and attending O'Dea High School, which is owned by the archdiocese and operated by the Christian Brothers.

WEST PALM BEACH — In their eyes, he was a hero.
And for at least one, second best after God.
But on Saturday, Chad Stoffel, a former math and music teacher at Summit Christian School, fell from grace.
The 29-year-old was arrested after police say he confessed to having sex with a 16-year-old Wellington Christian School student, a 16-year-old Summit Christian School student and molesting two children in Broward County.
Despite the confession, for now Stoffel is only facing four counts of unlawful sexual activity and four counts of battery of a child for the encounters he had with the Wellington Christian student.
Detectives and police in Broward County are investigating the other claims. State records show it is his first arrest.

LINCOLN, NE. Three lawsuits have been filed against a Lutheran church school for alleged sexual abuse by former officials, including a minister who served as principal. The lawsuits against St. John Lutheran Church in Seward seek millions of dollars for the alleged abuse. The Lincoln Journal Star reported in Saturday's editions that two lawsuits were filed in Lancaster County District Court on Friday by unnamed plaintiffs who alleged they were abused by longtime principal David Mannigel. Mannigel, a Lutheran minister, apparently killed himself last year. (ABC News, November 2, 2002)
