Parents angry at ban on filming

Political correctness has been blamed for preventing parents making home videos of their children's harvest festival.

Staff at Sandal Primary School, Baildon, Bradford, banned all camcorders before the start of the performance to comply with the wishes of a minority of parents.

When angry parents confronted officials they were told the ban was enforced after 20 sets of parents asked on consent forms for images not to be taken at school events.

Mother-of-six Jayne Horsfall, 42, of Baildon, who

watched her young child take part in the performance, said she was furious about the ban.

And Shipley Conservative MP Philip Davies said: "I understand when parents with differing views put schools in a difficult situation, and perhaps a no-win situation, but my feeling is that the decision they have made is wrong."
