Year 7 pupils at Bridlington High School in East Yorkshire were asked to write a homework essay concerning the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing above - where 22 people were killed, mostly children - as part of a personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) lesson.

The pupils were asked to imagine that they were a parent of one of the murdered children, and to discuss whether the terrorist (Salman Abedi) should be shown forgiveness.

To pose such an obviously inappropriate task to Year 7 pupils sparked outrage among furious parents - who rightly considered that children of that age would be unlikely to have the level of maturity to cope with such a concept without it doing them emotional harm.

Although the head teacher - Kate Parker-Randall - later apologised, there appears to have been no action taken against the PSHE teacher responsible for setting the homework.

We demand that the PSHE teacher at Bridlington High School should be sacked forthwith, and if the Head Teacher cannot bring herself to do it, then she should seriously consider her own position.

YOUR COMPLAINT:

<p>FOR THE ATTENTION OF KATE RANDALL-PARKER (HEAD TEACHER) AND DAVID BALDOCK (CHAIRMAN OF THE GOVERNING BODY) AT BRIDLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL:</p> <p>To whom it may concern,</p> <p>It has been reported that an unnamed teacher at your school - in charge of a personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) lesson - set a grossly inappropriate homework task to Year 7 pupils concerning the 2017 Manchester bombing, asking them to imagine themselves as a parent of a murdered child and to discuss forgiveness of the terrorist involved.</p> <p>It has been further reported that this sparked outrage among furious parents - who rightly considered that children of that age would be unlikely to have the level of maturity to cope with such a concept without it doing them emotional harm.</p> <p>Although I understand that an apology has been issued to parents, I am concerned that no action appears to have been taken against the PSHE teacher in question, who is obviously guilty of a gross error of judgment at the very least.</p> <p>I demand that this teacher is removed from their post forthwith.</p> <p>I look forward to hearing from you at the earliest opportunity.</p><p id="sign_off" class="mceNonEditable">
