Headteacher bans hot cross buns

A school in Suffolk has banned hot cross buns - in case they offend pupils from religious minorities.

Head teacher Tina Jackson asked for the crosses to be removed from all buns supplied by caterers in case it upset some of her pupils who are Jehovah's Witnesses.

Parents have accused her of "political correctness gone mad" reports The Sun.

But Miss Jackson, of The Oaks primary school in Ipswich, said: "For our students who are Jehovah's Witnesses, hot cross buns are not part of their beliefs.

"We decided to have the cross removed in respect of their beliefs."

The local Vicar, Father Haley Dossor, said: "I'd be amazed if anyone was offended by the cross on a bun. The school is wrong to act like this."

Yes because they are Christian in origin to celebrate Easter.

Fuck, tell them to turn them 45 degrees and call them Hot X Buns. Problem solved.

For Fuck's sake.. they'll have no problem taking the Christian celebration holidays... but fuck noooooooooo they better not have to look at an 'x' on top of a bun. SAVE THE CHILDREN FROM THE EVIL BUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jehovah's Witnesses are a bunch of freaks anyways... I know, I was raised as one and got out as soon as fucking possible. Why the hell cater to them?

So isn't removing them being disrespectful towards christians? :1orglaugh

Political correctness is shit. People take it too seriously nowerdays...

Maybe the Christians should riot and burn down the embassy?

j/k. Too much religion lately, lol.

Yeah, the kids in my school that were Witnesses always seemed a bit ill-adjusted to the world.

she's scared that if she eat those buns with crosses she'll disintegrate

So she had the buns altered, who gives a fuck.
It is not like a whole bunch of you would be supporting someone who wanted to add a cross to some other food type in school.

I'm Satanic which I believe falls under a religious minority. I am offended by clothes so she should remove all those also.

Idiot.

Buns are nothing like a 10 commandments sculpture in a state supreme courthouse.

Buns? You gotta be kidding me.

How fucking retarded... :disgust

Ridiculous.. I loved those as a kid

awwww, I ,iss hot crossed buns, use to have them every easter back home in NZ. I personally think this whole "religous" thing has gone to far!

Wow I love all the people hating on this lady? While I don't think it would have caused a problem with them there who really cares that they are gone????

It's not really the point is it, who'll miss them.

It's even making it a issue to begin with...

Well all they have to do is teach kids the truth about Easter and how it is not even a real Christian Holiday, and then the problem is solved.

That was a fallacious argument...
