Stop the GCSE and A-level schedule being rearranged to accommodate Ramadan!
David Cameron said himself that the UK is a Christian country, why then are we rearranging our GCSE and A-level schedule to suit the Muslim minority? This is totally unacceptable as it is prejudice against other religions for which we do not make special accommodation. STOP IT NOW!
