Jesus and Mohammed T-shirts banned: victory for the 'sanctimonious little prigs' of LSE's student union

There’s a row going on at the London School of Economics (LSE) after two atheist students were banned from wearing a T-shirt which depicted the Prophet Mohammed and Jesus. The pair were told by student union apparatchiks they would have to leave the university’s societies fair unless they covered up the t-shirts, which carried a cartoon from the website Jesus and Mo, because they were “provocative”.

In a statement, the union said: “Two students from the LSE SU Atheist Secularist and Humanist Society (ASH) wore T-shirts that were clearly designed to depict Mohammed and Jesus in a provocative manner.

“The Students’ Union, which runs the event, received a number of complaints from other students. The SU asked the students to cover the T-shirts in the interests of good campus relations. The society remained free to share their literature and views.” [Telegraph Media Group] Read more
