Small group gathers to protest for second day over teacher’s use of cartoon depicting prophet Muhammad
The row over a teacher’s use of an offensive cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad is being exploited by parties on both sides, and by the education secretary, Gavin Williamson, according to politicians and religious leaders who have appealed for calm.
For a second day, a small group of protesters gathered outside Batley grammar school in West Yorkshire on Friday, with more members of the media than public in attendance after the school announced it would be closed and pupils would be taught remotely.
