(Sunderland) 43 year old Mark McLachlan wasn’t impressed when on checking
his stepdaughters journal, he found her teacher had written ‘Write a letter to family about converting to
Islam’
He refused to allow his
12 year old stepdaughter, to complete the task after failing to see what the
letter would accomplish. Mr McLachlan said:
'I know as part of the national curriculum they have to learn about all religions. 'I just don't see why they should ask a child to write a letter addressed to their family about converting to another religion. I really just don't see what the letter will gain. If they want children to learn about Islam, then go teach them all about it and its history. What I don't want is a school asking my stepdaughter to look into reasons for converting to another religion."Can you imagine the outrage, if a Muslim child was asked to do likewise for Christianity or god forbid Judaism?
