Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a Batley school teacher to be reinstated after he allegedly showed derogatory caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed.
The unnamed teacher, who is now under police protection, has been suspended from his role with Batley Grammar School issuing an apology to parents who have been protesting outside the school gates.
Ricky Gervais has waded in on the row by condemning the protesters and there are calls for the teacher to be reinstated after a pupil started a petition.
It has been signed by thousands of people and is gathering momentum despite [other] protesters calling for the teacher to be sacked.
Other reports:
The organisers behind the online petition claim to be students at the West Yorkshire school.
They said the teacher "was trying to educate students about racism and blasphemy" and was "not racist and did not support the Islamophobic cartoons in any manner".
It added: "This has got out of hand and due to this, students have missed out on lessons because of 'peaceful' protestors" .
