Just to get the percentage figure of my Muslim/ immigration threads a little nearer to the 99% figure that Andy Hughes estimated, I just had to post this story. :0)
But jesting apart, this story is an example of what our young children are being brain washed into and all under threats of racism.

/// No child is being racist or to be branded racist. That nonsense comes from an angry parent. ///
Don't you read the articles before making your comments?
*** Refusal to allow your child to attend this trip will result in a Racial Discrimination note being attached to your child’s education record, which will remain on this file throughout their school career. ***
It's the child's education record, not the parent's.

Exactly, sherrardk. They can't charge for anything required, by law,in hours or curriculum, as tuition time. If this head felt compelled to write, she would have done better to say that it would be treated as non-attendance. That would have been false, since patently the school was charging, but at least it would have been less offensive, the present innuendo being that parents who do not pay are showing themselves to be racist.
The head should have not sent such a letter in any circumstances, whatever reason she gave. Better to say "We hope your child can attend" and leave it at that.

Fred's first response is just what I would have said - cultural and religious exposure is very good for children, to help them make up their own minds and form their own options. The headmistress was wrong on several counts - in the threat in the letter itself in the first place, and secondly for describing not attendance as Racist - Islam's not a race, it's a religion followed by people of many races.
