An angry mother has accused a primary school of denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the year for fear of upsetting pupils observing Ramadan. Kora Blagden, 32, claimed a teacher at her son Lukes school refused to let the 10-year old drink from his water bottle because it was unfair to fasting classmates. Many pupils at Charles Dickens Primary School, Portsmouth, Hampshire, are fasting during Ramadan, which means they refrain from taking food or water between sunrise and sunset for around 30 days, depending on the moon.

What a piece of shit teacher. British culture is turning to shit. The teacher should be fired. All the muslims should be deported.

It would be considered rude for a non-Muslim to drink in front of Muslims during Ramadan. I found that out first-hand when we were in Zanzibar (99% Muslim) during Ramadan.
I was drinking from a water bottle while walking the streets (because it was like a thousand degrees) and Muslim women were hissing at me. I later mentioned this to fellow travelers and they filled me in on the custom. They suggested that we simply go out of sight -- to a restaurant or shop -- if we wanted to eat or drink.
We weren't bound by their customs, but we certainly didn't want to piss them off while in their country.

Well that certainly shows class on your part.
I guess you notice they do not mind pissing us off while they are here in our country. They have no class.

Only because we allow it. Maybe we should start hissing at them.

The teacher should be decapitated.

Only if she refuses to wear a burka.
