A story out of england for all the brits. We all know children are the products of their parents and this is the exact reason why so many people are against home schooling. At least the kids have a chance to be exposed to other cultures when the culture at large supports and stands behind the noraml societal thinking. In most societies acts of mass viloence against civilans are forced to be fringe and lunatics. This is evidenced by the push by most Christian white people against the neo-nazi movement. Not all groups seem to do the same....   A teacher yesterday claimed he was forced out of his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as heroes. Nicholas Kafouris, 52, is suing his former school for racial discrimination. He told a tribunal that he had to leave his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'racist' and 'anti-Semitic' behaviour of Year 4 pupils. The predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class and described the September 11 terrorists as 'heroes and martyrs'. One pupil said: 'Don't touch me, you're a Christian' when he brushed against him.

Others said: 'We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'The Christians and Jews are our enemies - you too because you're a Christian'. Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, taught for 12 years at Bigland Green Primary School in Tower Hamlets, East London.

According to Ofsted 'almost all' its 465 pupils are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not speak English as a first language. The teacher claims racial discrimination by the school, its headmistress and her assistant head after they failed to take action about the comments made by pupils to him. He said there was a change in attitude of the pupils after the atrocities of September 11, 2001. They told him: 'We hate the Christians' and 'We hate the Jews', despite his attempts to stop them. He said he filled out a Racist Incident Reporting Sheet but claimed headmistress Jill Hankey dismissed his concerns. In a statement submitted to the Central London Employment Tribunal he said: 'Miss Hankey proceeded to excuse and justify the pupil's behaviour, conduct and remarks to me as if I had no right to be offended by the child's remarks and conduct. 'Amongst Miss Hankey's justifications for the child's remarks, she said, "If the child was older, say 15, I might take it more seriously. He's only nine - he's only doing it to wind you up".' He added: 'I felt the head's behaviour and conduct towards me amounted to direct religious discrimination. I was intimidated in the way she spoke to me which indicated "Don't come back with such issues again".'

Mr Kafouris, a bachelor, said the comments became more frequent after the head did nothing about the initial incidents

As usual Paul, it is very difficult to understand what point your attempting to make with your muddled comments!

You do understand that a 9 year old children say all sorts of stupid things and we cannot apply the same standards upon them as we would say an adult?

Where would children hear such things? Most probably back home from either their parents or relatives. At this age, indoctrination is easily done - something that continues during the rest of the nowadays child's life. So nip these kind of things in the bud!

most neo Nazis ARE White Christians...

You White Conservative goons believe the terrorist problem is bigger than it really is, and in doing this you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You'll reap what you sow you hate spreading **** faces.

beej is the same type of idiot who doesn't belive there is a problem and just like to try and piss people off ....and yet he doesn't even live in his own country, show's his own picture, and when something happens blames everyone but those responsible.
