| British School orders all Teachers and Students to Dress as Muslims |
| 2007-10-31 |
| A SCHOOL was yesterday accused of MAKING teachers dress up as Asians for a day – to celebrate a Muslim festival. Kids at the 257-pupil primary have also been told to don ethnic garb even though most are Christians. The morning assembly will be open to all parents – but dads are BARRED from a women-only party in the afternoon because Muslim husbands object to wives mixing with other men. Just two members of staff – a part-time teacher and a teaching assistant – are Muslim. Yesterday a relative of one of the 39 others said: “Staff have got to go along with it – or let’s face it, they would be branded racist. Since when is it that when one refuses to dress in a religious outfit "racism"? |

| #7 dress up as Asians for a day So a full geisha outfit including hair and obi ornaments would suit? Or sari with matching bindi, nose- and earrings? Turkish harem outfit with senior wife accoutrements (if we're playing dress-up there's no way I'm going as a mere junior concubine)? I've got some serious shopping to do! |

| #5 How about dressing in a suicide vest? "Asians for a day – to celebrate a Muslim festival" I'm sure all the Muslims are required to dress like Christians to celebrate Christian holy days. Right? Right? |

| #4 Even better, make sure that the entire school district's administrative staff and the school's principal are fired so fast their heads spin. |

| #3 Even better idea: boys dress as Muslim girls, and girls dress as Muslim boys. |
