Hundreds of schools have banned pork – sausages and bacon – and switched to halal only meat for meals even where Muslims are in the minority.
Many families of other faiths and none have been angered and upset by the move which has often been done by schools and councils with little or no consultation.
At least two dinner ladies have been sacked in the last year after serving non-halal food to Muslim students by accident.
By contrast, dinner ladies in hundreds of schools are expected to serve halal meat to primary and secondary school age pupils every day of the week whether they are Muslim or not.
The driving force appears to be cost because it is far easier and cheaper to have a single source of halal meat for everyone, rather than having to provide a segregated menu.
