I’d bet a month’s pay her dad is a Reform supporter. Of course this is all over the Daily Mail. All that said, she has an important message. Normal people need to reclaim the flag and cultural pride and the way to do it is to let people have pride in who they are.

> “We encourage students to consider wearing attire that reflects their nationality or family heritage,” it said.
It is concerning that people teaching children are not able to realise that this kid appears to have done exactly what they asked and also not realised that punishing her for being proud of being British would cause them a huge amount of trouble.

Too late. If you have these lapses of judgment as a school you can’t be trusted and I’m Indian.

They are only sorry that they got called out on it
TheBadLocksmith on
An apology really doesn’t address the root cause.
The fact that the school was emboldened enough to punish a kid just for celebrating British culture is emblematic of a much wider rot in the education sector.
IMO it all rolls downhill from ‘decolonisation’ zealots in academia.

Why would anyone want to wear the butchers apron? Poor wean probably been radicalised by the parents thinking Britain was and somehow is still Great.

Here we go fuel for the reform fire. It’s worth nothing this comes oddly after the girl was quoted in an article talking about the essential erasure of British culture. Then to wear this makes me think it’s all her parents.

A copy of a letter from the school asked pupils to wear their national dress. A union jack sequin dress is not the national dress of our country.
“As part of the celebration, we would like to invite students to wear traditional cultural dress to school instead of our school uniform.”
I personally think that is pretty clear and explains why the child in question was sent home.
However, it is stupid of a school to be running such an event at such a time. It was ripe for a stunt such as this and it clearly has worked it getting people frothing at the mouth.

“Mr Field said the school had now invited his daughter to come back in her dress and read a speech about why British culture was important to her.
But he told the BBC that she now “doesn’t want to wear the dress” as “she doesn’t feel comfortable”.”
Not surprised! A 12yo was told off for doing what she was told to do by teachers, and her Dad picked her up early. There’s no way it’s not already embarrassing for her among peers; to offer her to stand up alone with no-one else doing it and everyone knowing what happened? It’s not remotely the same and the teachers should know!
But I guess if they had that level of common sense they wouldn’t have kicked off about her being publicly British it in the first place.

Okay what was in speech though, I don’t care about the dress, that’s fine, but what did she want to say?

I read they also turned away farming kid in traditional flat cap & checked shirt, one with St George’s flag, and one with a Welsh flag. I did read that in a Lee Harris tweet though, so who knows.

I saw a post about this on tiktok yesterday and the comments were full of people saying this was just some made up story by the “far right” 🤦
They are half right though, it’s a fantastic advert to push more people to the right! A school in England kicking white English kids out for trying to be their own English culture on culture day… you can’t get a better advert for it!

Having read the likely AI generated essay that she took in I can’t help but feel that the teachers at her school feel into a trap, a trap with a big sign above it saying “This is a trap”.

Perhaps everyone in the school should wear the union jack dress for a day.
I don’t know for being in Britain and all.

How stupid can this school be.
What makes this even worse is that it gives the racist another bow.
I guarantee 99% of the people of colour/not British would not give a damn about her wearing the dress, but because of this stupid decision, they’ll get the backlash.
The vast majority of people who realise how stupid the school has been are not racist, far right wingers. They just know how stupid this decision has been.
The idiots on either side (the ones who said she couldn’t wear it, who, by the sound of the surname is British themselves, and the far right) have caused more of an issue that will be taken out on the ones in the middle who all think this is an absolute joke.

There needs to be more than an apology. Someone working there felt hatred when they saw British kids show up representing British culture and wanted them gone
Their worldview is so ingrained that no one stopped them and they’ve only apologised, which is worthless as it didn’t even acknowledge what happened, once they were exposed to the world.
LennyDeG on
Bet they only apologised to the outrage that has gripped the media and even 10 Downing Street. It is absolutely dangerous what that school has done, and those that sent her home should be investigated, including the Governers. Are they trying to teach kids to hate their heritage and culture. Shocking
