In elementary school all meat options are replaced by halal

In a school where only 20% are muslims, the remaining 80% have to adapt to the preference of the minority. It wouldn't be so much of a problem if there was at least a choise.. There seems to be a trend in the UK that halal is more and more forced upon the population.

I agree there should be a choice, however, I don't see it being a problem unless you had a problem with the method of slaughter

If the aim of the government is to make the country healthier then halal meat is a healthier than meat that is slaughtered in a commercial way.

What about Muslim majority schools where there is no halal?

Let's be honest, it's not an issue at all really.

I really don't understand why people are making such a fuss. I agree that it does sound a little bit unreasonable but come on... if not having any pork at school is your biggest problem, I'd say you've got a pretty good life. It's not going to have any kind of an impact on anyone else and it will make the muslim children a bit more comfortable. I really don't think it's a huge deal.

So what? Some kids have to live without pork or bacon at school. Is that really that much of a struggle?

There's more to it than just not having pork or bacon at school. Some people have ethical objections to the method of slaughter (this isn't a matter of bigotry - even the British Veterinary Association says it's cruel on scientific grounds). Furthermore, some people have religious prohibitions on eating halal meat - for instance, Sikhs (and to a lesser extent Hindus) are forbidden from eating halal and kosher meat.

The remaining 80% should at least be given a choice as to whether or not to eat halal meat - either that or the minority can opt for the vegetarian option.
