New Christian school sparks outrage after it removes a cross from its pupil-designed logo ‘after receiving complaints that it was offensive’
by Hugo Gye, Mailonline:
Parents at a Church of England school have been left furious after council bosses removed the Christian cross from the school’s logo.
Oak C of E Primary School opened last month in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire after three pre-existing school merged into one huge institution.
When the school was launched, it boasted a logo with an oak tree whose branches took the shape of the cross, in a nod to its Christian connections.
But just a few weeks later, the cross was replaced with three branches, and the original logo used on large banners and school uniform prototypes had been scrapped.
