//..they were obeying the rules... and then the rules changed in a way that appears to be quite unreasonable://

Life's tough sometimes - as the little treasures will discover when they make their way in the big wide world.

As BSM Williams of the Royal Artillery Concert Party would say, "Oh Dear! How sad! Never Mind!"

perhaps people with big fro's expect you to bend your neck sideways
so that there poor excuse for a hair style can be erm..let it fro, know wat i sayin mmm yo respect me.

And sometimes new judge life is about standing up for yourself and what's right.

That is a racist post fender.

[emmie]

dont agree, at that age they should be knuckling down and getting on with school work, not walking out because they don't agree with a policy

[emmie]

especially in the light of how many classes they have missed.

[emmie]

the school has caved in, boo sucks.

"And sometimes new judge life is about standing up for yourself and what's right."

I s'pose it depends on what you consider to be "right".

The school's rules required sensible haircuts and sober coloured hijabs - there is nothing even remotely unreasonable about either requirement, and there most definitely isn't any "ism".

Also, I know the 'correct' thinking at the moment is to despise our past for fear of being labelled a racist, but what's wrong about learning about England's white kings and queens? (white before kings and queens is surely unnecessary, unless there some non-white kings and queens I'm unaware of). White kings and queens are important to our history.

It's a bad move of the school to have caved-in, although I suspect it's the siht-scared governors rather than the Head, as now anything these children feel they want changed will result in protests.

These children are going to have a very rude-awakening when they enter the real world, where their childish antics won't be entertained.

Never mind the uniform - far more serious is the school's capitulation on flying the national flag. Shame on them, absolute shame. Still think these kids aren't bent on stirring up trouble, untitled?

[dave50]

Every time a person of colour doesn't get their own way they always play the race card. It just gets people's backs up. Sick of hearing about so called racism, not interested anymore.

[emmie]

i think the flag issue is serious, why on earth were they allowed to take it down and burn it. American citizens would be up in arms

[naomi24]

These kids will run rings around this school in future. Stupid people. Chaos reigns.

[emmie]

so it would seem.

I do think the rules on hair were wrong and that the students were correct to protest them yes...

I cannot see anything which says they stopped flying the flag.. the teachers correctly imo passed a vote of no confidence against the head and the uniform policy was restored to what it was before unless i am missing something

[emmie]

did you read the DM Link.

[emmie]

they have stopped flying the Union Flag.

//the policy is not dated as such but embraces the 2020/2021 school year so probably wasn't introduced recently. //

So not new.

As for the flag, read the link Emmie posted.

I'm not sure that's true emmie... the independent says they will run a "review" of flying the flag... which is not the same thing at all.

I hope they do not stop flying it, it really doesn't have anything to do with the substance of the protest.

[Untitled]

the protest was over recent changes not reflected in that link naomi - specifically measures which were designed to ban afros... a policy which I think is a bit racist.
