A SINGLE mother and her son’s primary school are locked in a feud after she was issued a trespass notice banning her from setting foot in the school grounds until November.

The woman, who wants to be known only as Alex, cannot take her son, 6, to class and has been forced to wait for him outside school gates each day.

She also could not attend the prep concert and the school sports day at Burwood Heights Primary.

Alex told the Herald Sun she was being victimised for objecting to the recital of a pledge at the state school that begins with “I love God”.

Apparently, this is recited at Assembly:

"I love God and my Country. I will serve the Queen and cheerfully obey my parents, teachers and the laws."

2. While she has a valid point, I suspect the details of her interactions with

school personnel would tell a story.
