I’m Christian, I haven’t revised, and my exams are during Lent: can I get them postponed for a month until after Lent? No. So am I missing something or does the Torah say “don’t do exams on Pentecost”?
@@neojnghonestly, if they did, you’d be annoyed. You’d also have no grounds to say you can’t do the exam I don’t think. At least not specifically on religious grounds. I’m not sure if public holidays would change that but then the same would apply to Boxing Day which obviously isn’t a religious day
So the university actually did accommodate her, by giving her the second sitting as a first attempt, but she is angry because they didn't accommodate her in the way she wanted. entitled.
I hate people like this witch. They are so entitled and think the world revolves around them. She should spare a thought to the innocent victims of genocide and ethnic cleansing (mostly children) in Palestine instead of whining about her exam.
Will she be demanding these days off when she’s at work? We have lots of Christians in my place of work who have to give up Christmas and Easter because that is what the job entails. I have never heard anyone complain about it. We just understand that is what is expected of us. If we don’t like it we can go elsewhere or choose a different career path
As a Jew may I say: Pentecost is not one of the “big three” - it’s a relatively minor holiday for most Jews Judaism is not one of the “big three” religions. It’s one of the three Abrahamic religions, but even grouping Christianity and Islam into two groups (which is insane in itself; Catholicism and Anglican are night and day, as are Sunni and Shia), the idea that Judaism is larger than Hinduism, Buddhism or even Sikhism is utterly laughable.
Also ignores the fact there’s no university on Saturday, so her weekly holy day is not affected by regular scheduling. The western world is already set up to have special adjustments for her holy day.
@@jsworpinthis is a really good point, thank you I was not on her side at all until she pointed out they are accommodating Friday prayers. Then I started thinking well if they are changing timetables to suit one religious group, don’t they have a duty to do the same for all religious groups? (The alternative being that they ignore religion altogether, which would also be fair). But actually they are also accommodating other religions by giving them the entire days of Saturday (Judaism) and Sunday (most Christianity) off. So it’s more than fair in that context that they give an hour on Friday for Islam. Further, all these rules have a test of “reasonableness” at some stage. It’s more reasonable to ask for the same hour on every Friday during every week of every term (fairly easy to plan around) vs demanding two days in a one off/irregular and highly compressed exam diet (a nightmare to plan around). By offering her full credit for the “retest” date, they are giving a very courteous exemption they are not obliged to give
God she sound entitled you can hear contempt dripping from her voice when she talks about the 'more than enough' adjustments made for the *other* religion let just put it like that
Like fuck sake lady is religious tolerance literally a zero-sum game in your mind and that others have got more than their fair share a burning resentment in your psyche?
Judaism is not one of the "three big religions". The three big religions (with around a billion adherents each) are Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. Judaism is absolutely tiny. Judaism is the sixth largest religion in the UK (Sikhism and Buddhism are also larger). If they were going to schedule exams around Jewish holidays, they would have to schedule around holidays for all six religions that size or larger. Some universities do try and do that, but it isn't reasonable to demand it - it makes the scheduling much more difficult.
@@The-Wolf-with-no-name Unfortunately, after peaking at 0.7% of the population in the 2001 census (in fourth place, ahead of Judaism, Sikhism and Buddhism), the number of Jedi in the UK roughly halved in the 2011 census and fell so low in the 2021 census that they were just grouped in with "no religion" and a separate number wasn't published.
I think it’s about time that religion should purely be kept to personal time and should not be able to impact on day-to-day life. UK holidays are largely based on tradition these days, the majority of people don’t follow any religion.
@@Sr68720 Where did they say anything about enforcing atheism on everyone? Nice strawman you have there lol. If you want to see what it's like when religion is banned go to basically any middle eastern country (not france lmfao) where only islam is allowed... stop whining just because people don't want religion and the law intertwined, what gives you the right to have special treatment just because you worship one particular god? Should people be allowed to say they wont work over christmas because they're christian, for example? I'm sure all the people in ICUs who rely on people keeping them alive would LOVE that! Perhaps it would be better if people are all treated the same, and we all have equality?
I left education 28 years ago and only now after hearing this caller do I know why we had a 3 hour break in our timetable every Friday, which I was grateful for as it gave me 3 hours to play Super Nintendo.
This is all about marking out her territory. She wants to have a cause to complain. Would she volunteer to work Christmas day so a Christian does not have to?
What is she actually asking for? What is the actual issue? They have already said she will be given special exemption to have her “retest” date given full credit as if it’s the first attempt. They are not obliged to do so but they are being generous. So what is she actually asking for? Where is the problem we’re trying to solve? I genuinely don’t get it
I was interested so I did some digging, and Judaism is actually joint 5th in the UK League Of Religions, according to the 2021 census: Christian: 46.2% No religion: 37.2% Muslim: 6.5% Hindu: 1.7% Sikh: 0.9% Jewish: 0.5% Buddhist: 0.5%
Jewish law says you aren't supposed to do work on holidays, just like on the Sabbath. Taking an exam counts as work. It isn't that she has something else to do, it's just that she isn't supposed to be doing anything that counts as work. There are plenty of exceptions to that law, though, so I doubt she would be committing a particularly grave sin by just taking the exam.
Get a dispensation from a Rabbi, perhaps? Muslim athletes don't have to observe Ramadan rules, if say the Olympics or another big sporting event happens then. And Professional footballers of different faiths are pretty quiet about the accommodations they make, as they have to, to stay at peak fitness. Thinking the Fasting bit for Christians observing Lent, for example.

Meanwhile I’ve seen loads of students sit through gcses, a levels and university exams whilst fasting, up early, no water, and never heard a complaint
It's almost as if fasting is about personal sacrifice and putting effort into your beliefs rather than trying to be a victim all the time!
Sit the exam like everybody else!!!

You can feel the jealousy and hate at the same time when she talks about Friday adjustments!! 😢

So enforce atheism on everyone because you don't like it/ you have tyranny of the majority. like France were they started to ban clothing.

Surprised she didn’t accuse the college of being antisemitic
The entitlement is beyond belief. Judaism is not 1 of the 3 biggest religions in the world, what nonsense.
This is all about marking out her territory. She wants to have a cause to complain.
Would she volunteer to work Christmas day so a Christian does not have to?
She was given an uncapped exam with the resit students, what does she actually want more than that?

“Right, good luck with that.” Is such a British response to bullship
So entitled.
And since when us Judaism in the top 3 'big' religions of the world?
Does it even make thr the top 10?
“One of the three big ones”
Is from the 11th biggest religion by numbers of followers. 5th in the UK
Wait till she finds out that Christians get Sundays off.
Just tell them that you can do the exam on December 25th
I know she's saying lots of different words, but all in hearing is "Me me me me me..."
1% of population ? Can’t stop things for a tiny fraction. We probably should get religion out holidays as it’s on decline.
0.5% in the UK. Less than that globally. Judaism is certainly not one of the "three big religions".
