Schoolboys Get Detention for Refusing to Pray to A
Two boys were punished this week for refusing to kneel on prayer mats and worship Allah during a class demonstration on Islam, the Daily Mail reported.
Irate parents said a religious education teacher at the Alsager High School in England told student to wear Muslim headgear during a lesson on Tuesday. "But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion, there would be war," the grandfather of one of the students said.
The two boys belong to a class that includes 11- to 12-year-olds, and after their refusal to participate they were given detention, the story says.

Re: Schoolboys Get Detention for Refusing to Pray
That is amazing.
Last year in Grade 3 my oldest had someone come into thier class to have everyone do Yoga.
I don't feel it is right, so I explained to my daughter about it and she sat this out.
These children should have had that option too.

Unfortunately not likely to happen, this was in England which has a very different social/political makeup.
