My son has a Jewish surname (as do I, but I married it) and i would hate for someone to think they had to 'hate' him or not be his friend at school because of it IYKWIM. We are not even slightly jewish, just carry a name.
Minimax- exactly as you say. I wouldn't like my child be known to be a terrorist just because he's islamic.

We'll the school psych called me yesterday to clarify a few things, which really hasn't helped as i'm still worried about that teacher being there at that school.

The school had known that this RE teacher told the kids this in class, so she was warned and stopped from teaching my son's RE class last term. She was surprised that the matter came up some weeks later.

I told her, that her questioning DS whether or not he believed what was said was not right as this may have instilled in him the belief of not believing in what his teachers teach him in the future.

The psych told me that this particular teacher is now teaching high school students. Great. She really now will be sharing her beliefs and views with the older kids too.

She told me that librarian who answered the phone, and said what she said to be about it being a problem, didn't really think before she spoke and that she was apologetic of she said.



I give up. I've got more probs with the school. That's in another post!

I've just left it at that.
