So interesting to hear about the history of Humanism in modern Britain last night at the Conway Hall. A willingness to look at the mistakes of the past to fight for a better future is one of the things that makes #humanism a great movement to be a part of! shorturl.at/oyWY0

Very worried about the treatment of these students in our area. Damage of a book is no reason for death threats. Tolerance must prevail!

Replying to @Humanists_UK
This story is horrendous. There is no blasphemy law in Great Britain and schools should not be pressured by religious groups into retaliatory acts against pupils. We are calling on the UK Government to make a firm statement of support for the children in this case.
