A school has been slammed by a sixth form pupil for removing her paintings of a mother breastfeeding her child - because it could offend Muslims during Ramadan.
Tapton Secondary School in Sheffield told Martha Armitage, 18, that her A-level paintings would not be displayed with other pupils' artwork because the space is currently being used as a prayer room for the duration of the religious period.
Now Miss Armitage has hit out at the decision because she believes she is being 'censored' and says she is proud of her four paintings, which took 15 hours to create, and wants them to be displayed.
But the school has defended the decision, saying it was a matter of 'tolerance and respect' to not put them on show in the prayer room and claimed that the pictures are on display - but in a different section of the school.
Miss Armitage, who works part-time in a cafe, chose the subject of Mother and Baby after being given four choices for her A-level finals. [Daily Mail] Read more
