Should secular schools be introducing a 'prayer ban'? | LBC debate

Nick Ferrari hears from these callers on whether the 'prayer ban' introduced by Michaela Community School was an appropriate decision. This comes as 'Britain’s strictest headteacher', Katharine Birbalsingh, won a legal challenge over a school prayer ban as a Muslim student's case was dismissed. 1:22 - Nick tells caller Ali that expecting to be able to pray at a secular school ‘is like saying I want to have a bbq on the golf course because I’ve joined the golf club, on the 18th hole… but you can’t because those are the rules!' 1:44 - Ali tells Nick Ferrari: ‘Look at this country, it’s gone to the dogs because people don’t respect their faith and faith of others.’ 3:13 - Caller Andrew asks: ‘Why are there still significant sectinos of the Muslim community in this country who are prepared to put their religion before every other consideration?’ 4:50 - Andrew insists Muslims speaking against the prayer ban ‘is all part of the demarcation of territory, it’s saying ‘this is our patch, and if you aren’t part of this community, you aren’t welcome here.'' 5:35 - Caller Rhys says that he ‘finds it so sad that most issues and really harsh discussions are over religion', but also admits 'it always seem to be that the Muslim sector of religion seems to complain, but you've had no other callers complaining about this ban.’ 11:12 - Caller Ahmed, who has family that attends the Michaela Community School, fears that ‘the next step is any school or headteacher will come and say, ‘right we have to change the rules now.''
