| Mount Carmel Roman Catholic high school in Accrington |
A British school, in a discriminatory approach against Muslims, has banned two of its Muslim boys from attending classes after they refused to shave off their beards, media reports said.
Mount Carmel Roman Catholic high school in Accrington, Lancashire placed both 14-year-olds in isolation from the start of the new term.
A relative of one of the children told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, that the decision to ban them was “pure discrimination”.
The family member further told that, “Because these boys cannot shave their beards for religious reasons, they are being put in isolation for six-and-a-half hours every day, They are not being allowed to mix with anybody or speak to friends. It is pure discrimination”.
“They chose that school because it is within their area and has good results. The school has to have an open policy and they have to take in people from all religions”, added the relative of one of the boys.
