Teaching Fail

A Kenyan publisher has withdrawn a school book that included a drawing depicting Prophet Muhammad following an outcry by Muslim leaders and parents.

They complained that it was blasphemous to draw the prophet and to ask pupils to colour in the illustration.

Mentor Publishing Company said it regretted the "grave" mistake in the book on Islamic studies for pupils in the second year of primary school.



How can a company that writes books for schools make such an absurd mistake?

What's next?
