This was a very one sided article. Decades of tension between religious groups led to the consensus that religious practice should be kept separate from the secular school system.  Yet say that this principle should apply to everyone, including Muslims, and you will get branded as "hateful" and "Islamophobic".  No other religion gets this favoured treatment.  For many non-believing kids from devout religous housholds the school was a refuge from the constraints of home life.  How many non-religious kids from devout Muslim households will now feel pressured and bullied to attend prayers at school from their devout fellow students?
