The girl taunted classmates as she carried out the provocative act, leading parents to complain to her £15,000-a-year school. but she was set free after she apologised to the school authorities.
“It is disgusting to think this young girl thinks it’s acceptable to insult a religion by defacing a Bible like this. If a Christian pupil did this to a Koran, there would be uproar. Everyone in the school is talking about it and the parents are talking about it too. Pupils have been taking pictures of the video and been sharing it. It’s gone viral. They found the book in school and were throwing it around and making a joke of it before it was thrown down the drain.
The girl posted another Snapchat after she was pulled up on it by the school saying ‘thanks a lot, everybody, you’ve got me in trouble’.
“There’s an awkwardness at school now because she’s angry that she’s been in trouble and she’s trying to find out who told on her. I think the school should have made a bigger response. She was let off with just a warning but I think it’s a lot more serious than that.”
“This was an isolated incident, we dealt with it privately and immediately. The child has apologised.”
