School cancels Easter service 'in spirit of inclusivity' and introduces Refugee Week (UK)
Express ^ | March 23, 2025 | MAX PARRY

A primary school axed its annual Easter celebration and service to “respect for diversity”. The announcement has been slammed online, with one person expressing concern that Christmas celebrations will be next to go.

Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hampshire, circulated a letter to parents and carers telling them that neither their Easter Bonnet Parade nor their Easter Service would be held this year. Headteacher Stephanie Mander, who wrote the letter, justified the state school's move "in spirit of inclusivity".

The letter read: "By not holding specific religious celebrations, we aim to create a more inclusive atmosphere that honours and respects the beliefs of all our children and their families."

Later in the letter, the headteacher goes on to reveal what religious services will be replaced with: "One of the ways we will be celebrating inclusivity is by taking part in Refugee Week which occurs in June, as well as beginning our journey to become an accredited School of Sanctuary."

The news of the cancellation of Easter services did not go down well online.

One X user wrote: "I hope the parents of the children that want to take part in easter celebrations get together and do this for them."

A second said: "No Easter celebrations?? What?? Despite being a Hindu, I looooved the Easter celebrations at school & making an Easter Bonnet, that was fantastic Trying to be all inclusive is ruining everything."

A third wrote online: "Is Miss Mander preparing to cancel Christmas as well?".

Maybe we should just stop hand wringing over the loss of the UK and accept it as the past.

It’s gone folks.

Start the grieving process to get over it.

Great! They can bring some Muslim Knifemen into the UK schools to instruct the students in the proper sharpening of Knives for the Easter Services, that should be a lot of Fun!

Excluding the Christians, because we want to include everybody.

What?

Europeans went into this grand experiment with their eyes wide open. They overwhelmingly reelected the same people who betrayed them. It’s hard to have sympathy for people who are insistent on committing cultural suicide.

Spain is really the model to follow with all of this. It took them about 800 years, but by about the year 1500 they had solved the Muslim problem.

Self deception, wrapped in stupidity, double-wrapped in cowardice.

And thanks to their efforts Columbus discovered America!

Britain, from Scotland to Wales, and from England to Northern Ireland is a very sick society.

Idiot, corrupt leaders will do that.

We are hanging by a thread but at least we have a chance.
