The Straw That Broke the Multi-Culti Camel's Back

British schoolgirl Codie Stott was arrested

By Val MacQueen

In the last few days in Britain, three events have caused what was already a
small crack in the paper-thin edifice of "multiculturalism" in Britain to
widen to a noticeable fissure.

First, 14-year old British schoolgirl Codie Stott was arrested for trying to
get a good grade in her group science project. She had been placed with a
group of students only one of whom spoke any English. When they began
talking what she deduced was Urdu among themselves, she realized she had no
hope of completing the project. She went to her teacher, and prefacing her
request with a diplomatic, "I'm not trying to be funny, but ..." she asked
to be moved to an English-speaking team. The teacher reacted violently,
raising her voice in the classroom to shout, "It's racist! You're going to
get done by the police!"

The 14-year old was reported to a police officer on the school premises and
the next day she was arrested, taken to the police station and told to take
the laces out of her shoes and take off her jewelry. She then had her
fingerprints taken and she was formally questioned. "It was awful," she
said later, when she'd been released, the police having shown more sense
than her teacher.

This was over a month ago and the stupidity of the school has already
been discussed.

But what has transpired?  Stott presumably
has a Caution, or at least an arrest record,
and there was the promise/threat of further
disciplinary action from Harrop Fold High
School.

What has happened to the teacher involved?
Presumably her vigiliance will be rewarded,
and are the Urdu-speakers to be compensated
for the upset?   Will they even receive an
apology from the school or Stott herself.

What steps have been taken to ensure the 99%
of pupils who don't speak Urdu are receiving
lessons in Urdu to prevent an occurrence of
the incident?

    I think this particular school would prefer that the 99% non Urdu
speakers would actually prefer that they learn Urdu rather than the non
English speakers learn English:-)   What a wacky state of affairs:-)
