14 yr old girl sent to Jail for speaking to teacher?

Perhaps I am being pedantic but the OP's headline says she was sent to jail. She wasn't. Perhaps the OP should not act like the Daily Mail !

Yes it was over the top to put her in a police cell but in this day and age, if the police didn't act somebody (perhaps even on this forum) would be shouting about lack of action. We should all take a lead from Michael Winner and 'calm down dear'.


Just sayin'

Puzzled of Eccles.

Good point! Didnt notice that.
Bit odd!
 
This whole racism thing is totally out of hand and absurd, the only way to combat racism is to target racism and eradicate it, not cry our eyes out and try and find the slightest negative reference to someones colour or whatever. Its totally ridiculous and we suffer from it on here too with the race warriors lambasting posters for being racist without any tangible evidence.

Ps if anyone calls me snowflake because i am white, i will cry my fuckin eyes out and report them to the police!!

I asked because I know the school and realised that the Headteacher mentioned left quite a while ago!!
 
Fucking Daily mail, stirring fucking wankers - if you take that as a source of your understanding of current affairs then you're a bigger cock than the authors, at least they're getting paid to peddle their mixing bullshit.

If you're going to post articles like this OP, then at least have the good sense to research the incident, and get other sources to broaden the debate, otherwise it looks like you've got an agenda as well as the Fail.

Amazing naivete that a reader believes the word of a teenage racist over a fully qualified Teacher, without question, like kids who're caught misbehaving don't change their story or outright deny what they've done to plead innocence, fuck me.

You're doing the complete opposite it would seem.
 
A complaint was made to a police officer based full-time at the school,

Sounds like a nice place.

Seeing as this was 6 years ago they're probably armed and wear full body armour now.

She was right in principle, however the fact that she apparently called them 'blacks' sent alarm bells ringing for me. Sounds like everyone (the girl/teacher/school/police) could have handled the situation better.

So if an Asian or whoever was to call me 'White' I could take offence to that and report it, and it would be dealt with in the same manner?

They weren't black though. Describing a group of Asians as 'blacks' is questionable at best surely?

Ignorant?

Not sure I'd be around much longer if I posted the YouTube clip of Majors rant on Fawlty Towers.

Top marks for calling a child a racist when you don't have the facts.

Bottom of the class for you i'm afraid.

"I said 'I'm not being funny, but can I change groups because I can't understand them?

A perfectly reasonable request.

From then on in the idiots in life stepped in to make an issue out of it.

exactly this .... My 7 year old girl was in in class last year and a temp teacher was teaching her. They were doing a project in groups, when the teacher was with her group she needed a pair of scissors and she asked who had the scissors. My daughter said "Billy has some Miss", when the teacher asked which one was Billy, my daughter innocently said "the black boy over there" and pointed .... the teacher kicked off and said my daughter was racist ... now the class is predominantly white middle class so she used the phrase "black boy" as an adjective to help the teacher identify Billy. My 7 year old daughter came home in tears after being branded a racist. The headmaster agreed that the teacher handled the situation wrongly and fucked her off as she was only a temp.

I'm not surprised. Fancy giving the black kid scissors.

Aye. Who would listen to a child over a fully qualified holier than thou teacher? Very dangerous way of looking at things.
 
Is this 2006?

Also, claiming a child looks like a racist is kind of ridiculous when you'd jump off your pampered white arse if anyone was stereotyping others.

Also, I didn't know that every person who works for the Daily Mail was a racist/xenophobe.......... or is that the trendy thing to say?

Fact is, the whole situation is/was ridiculous and I can't believe we have non English speaking 14 year olds in the same classes being taught by English speaking teachers.
 
We had two fellows at work. Both called Jimmy. One was black and the other one white. They did the same job so if you were discussing them then you needed to differentiate them in some way. I went for the crazy idea of using their surnames but most people just called them White Jimmy and Black Jimmy. I was accused of being too sensitive about the issue when I said that it was wrong to use their colour to tell them apart. The discussion would usually end when I asked why no one ever called them White Jimmy or Black Jimmy to their face.
