Well it’s come to this. A U.K. Catholic school girl is now labeled a truant because she refuses to wear a head scarf on a compulsory visit to a Liverpool Mosque. (Frankly the only places in Liverpool probably worth visiting would be Beatles sites like the Cavern Club, but I digress.) We all know that the Church of England led by the incompetent and politically correct Archbishop Rowan Williams, is a bunch of wobbly cowards but I hope that the Roman Catholic church in England is made of sterner stuff.

A Roman Catholic schoolgirl has been labelled a truant after she refused to wear a headscarf during a compulsory trip to a mosque.
Amy Owen, 14, and fellow girl pupils at a Catholic secondary school were told to cover their heads and wear trousers or leggings out of respect for their Muslim hosts.
But when her mother objected, saying she did not want her daughter to ‘dress as a Muslim’, she received a sternly worded warning letter from the headmaster saying she had no choice.
Peter Lee, head of Ellesmere Port Catholic High School in Cheshire, informed her that the local diocese ‘requires’ pupils to have an understanding of other religions.
In the letter – with words in block capitals and underlined – Mr Lee said the visit was ‘as compulsory as a geography field trip’.
He added: ‘There are two reasons for these visits. One is that the scheme of work in religious studies REQUIRES children to have knowledge and understanding of other world religions.
