UK to set school exams around Ramadan

I wouldn't call it slippery slope, it's just the consequences of such a concession. With just one ruling, then they would either have to also make the same concession to other religions or else they are showing favouritism. The only "slope" part about it would be being treating other religions the same, which obviously they would not do. That's what makes it a bad ruling, in my opinion.

I agree with Panda, set the date, and if you starve yourself and feint it's your own fault. If I nominate a day for constant wanking then no one is going to respect my religious right and add another date it can't be.

So even though the impact is small, I feel the principal is a bad precedent.
