When I saw this article in the Daily Mail today I had a feeling there would be no mention of the story on the BBC website, and I was right.
Thinking that just in case the story was too fresh, which could account for its absence on the BBC site, I searched the Mail for any previous version and found this from last year Christian teacher tells of race slurs by pupils aged 8
So no excuse really, just the usual avoidance from our 'impartial' and 'unbiased' BBC to mention anything negative that relates to Muslims - especially home grown ones.
I'm sure the many real moderate and integrated Muslims living in this country are just as sickened by the story, and its absence on the BBC, as I am.
Christian teacher sues over 'racist' pupils aged eight
By Lucy Ballinger
A Christian 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'.
