The UK communities secretary has raised his concerns over a demonstration that took place at a school in West Yorkshire, after a teacher allegedly showed a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed during a religious studies lesson.
Speaking on Friday, Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick told Sky News that the Department for Education had been in touch with the school and the local council, and an investigation into the teacher’s conduct was the right way to proceed.

We don’t have blasphemy laws in Britain.
Teachers are free to explore all religions and themes.
Our schools mustn’t be intimated into submission for daring to do so! pic.twitter.com/dnudTulLiq
