A student was disqualified from her GCSE exam after she was accused of making “obscene racial comments” by criticising halal meat. Abigail Ward, 16, a strict vegetarian, wrote during a Religious Studies exam in June that she found the idea of halal meat "absolutely disgusting".
The exam board OCR later disqualified Miss Ward from the exam, accusing her of making "obscene racial comments". The decision was only overturned when her school, Gildredge House in Eastbourne, appealed the decision, insisting Miss Ward had been expressing her distaste for halal butchers and was not making any comment about Muslims. The school added that no other comments made in the paper could be construed as racist. The exam board upheld the appeal and later apologised for the “upset and stress” they caused Miss Ward, the Telegraph reported. It also accepted that the board's original letter "describing the frequency and severity of the comments" was "inaccurate". Miss Ward’s mother Layla, a 36-year-old nurse, said she believed the misunderstanding was probably down to an “over-zealous, over-righteous” examiner. Surely the individual who disqualified her should not be doing this job anymore? |

Sure they'll pretend it's fine if you believe in it. [i]Surely the individual who disqualified her should not be doing this job anymore? Definitely unfit as can't be fair and impartial,ubfortunately this type is strewn throughout government employment and the orders are from above so 1 clueles drone out another will be put back in. |

You could not make up this sort of nonsense if you tried, complete and utter insanity. I despair of this world of ours sometimes really I do.

I’ve got a share in a takeaway food outlet,whenever I’m there we get loads of calls asking what food on the menu is halal,I reply nothing it’s an Italian pizza shop why would I serve halal.my answer is normally met with a sense of outrage from the caller.

Don't worry there won't be a religious studies exam pretty soon. Its an offending exam.

The fcuking disgrace was overturned.

So this was a muslim examiner?
|
|
By:
Wouldn't know dt but they are doing their best to drum into these kids that any possible negativity that can be tied in no matter how disjointed the connectection to Islam is NOT ALLOWED control worthy of Islam itself.

And so I know who are they?
|
|
By:
I can't make any sense of it, unless it was a muslim examiner. But even in that case, someone above him agreed with him and disqualified the student. That is quite a big step to take. I would be suing the crap out of the board.
Either that, or we haven't been told enough about the case. You can't possibly be disqualified because of your opinion in an exam. |

That's a very good point which I'd not thought of. |

Who controls the schools the teachers and what is taught? come on Charlie you know better than that.
The governement, OFSTED? Just tell me. |
|
By:
And we're talking about marking not teaching. There is a difference.
|
|
By:
The government controls our schools any marking bodies are subsidiaries such as Ofqual who will operate under relevant government guidelines.

Just so I'm sure what you're saying the Tories are to blame for this?

I would imagine that you could say that islamic law is barbaric and that islamic countries mistreat women and that would be a valid opinion in a "religious studies" exam. The story as reported seems quite bizarre. |

It would be a bizarre answer about halal meat. |

Charlie you're talking in riddles if you want a political argument you've picked the wrong person I don't care I'm a right and wrong type whichever self serving shytebags are involved is neither here or there to me.

She was disqualified though.
That she was reinstated is not the point at all as it shouldn't have happened in the first place. |

YOU CAN BE DISQUALIFIED FROM YOUR JOB BY BEING CRITICAL
hope this helps |
|
By:
It doesn't. As I answered above to dt I don't see how the student gets disqualified.

Sounds like the examiner is a white middle class belned that's gone into full Rs liking mode
