The primary school where pupils speak 42 different languages....WOW!

42 languages are spoken by students at a primary school in Nottingham
Headteacher has introduced team to help spot racism on the playground
School's newsletters are even translated into Romanian and Polish
In 1992, half of the school was white British - but this is now at 15 percent

He has even asked teachers not to use the term ‘British’ to reduce the chances of upsetting migrant families, Obama would love this "politically correct" action.
"We teach British values but we prefer to call them 'human values' — we don’t want to be elitist".
The headmaster also said "Being British is more than "London cabs" and fish and chips". Gee, that sure is a racist comment about cab drivers, and the national "British" food of the beloved Fish and Chips. It's a disgrace that being proud to be British is now considered offensive.

I wonder what the British member on ATS have to say about his rude comments?...... www.dailymail.co.uk... ants.html

I don't think his statement about fish and chips or the London cabs is racist at all...I also don't agree with him scuttling the word British...

I'm sure you're going to find some in complete agreement and may even think it's not far enough. It's become extremely non PC to be proud of your heritage, no matter where you're from. Proud to be an American? 'Well, your country was founded by a bunch of White racists"
sigh. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Go back to your safe space.

They could be this school. It goes out of its way to teach white children they're born racist.

Thing I don't get is that it's an elite private school. What white parent is willfully spending $27K/year to have their kid treated like this?

An elite Manhattan school is teaching white students as young as 6 that they’re born racist and should feel guilty benefiting from “white privilege,” while heaping praise and cupcakes on their black peers.

Administrators at the Bank Street School for Children on the Upper West Side claim it’s a novel approach to fighting discrimination, and that several other private New York schools are doing it, but even liberal parents aren’t buying it.

They complain the K-8 school of 430 kids is separating whites in classes where they’re made to feel awful about their “whiteness,” and all the “kids of color” in other rooms where they’re taught to feel proud about their race and are rewarded with treats and other privileges.


“Ever since Ferguson, the school has been increasing anti-white propaganda in its curriculum,” said a parent who requested anonymity because he has children currently enrolled in the school.

According to the New York Post, students are segregated by race, with whites being taught they are awful human beings and minority children being taught to take pride in themselves.

Bank Street has created a “dedicated space” in the school for “kids of color,” where they’re “embraced” by minority instructors and encouraged to “voice their feelings” and “share experiences about being a kid of color,” according to school presentation slides obtained by The Post.

Meanwhile, white kids are herded into separate classrooms and taught to raise their “awareness of the prevalence of Whiteness and privilege,” challenge “notions of colorblindness (and) assumptions of ‘normal,’ ‘good,’ and ‘American’” and “understand and own European ancestry and see the tie to privilege.”

It has links to articles done by both the Mail and the New York Post.

It's kind of the same idea isn't it?

This is the worst:

The program, these parents say, deliberately instills in white children a strong sense of guilt about their race. Some kids come home in tears, saying, “I’m a bad person.”

I think any parent who keeps their kid in a school that upsets them this badly should be prosecuted for child abuse. I remember being bullied in school and coming home in tears like this. Now imagine if my own parents had been complicit in this and paying for me to be treated this way by the authority figures at my school?

London cabs. The Fairway Driver was designed to specifications laid down by the drivers themselves. I can't think of any other vehicle that has such a high degree of user input in the design. Driving one is a comfortable, pleasurable and safe experience. The turning circle is small enough to turn in a narrow road. The engines are super-reliable and can last over 500,000 miles. Unfortunately the newer replacements are not as good. Of course being an educator he'd know all that.
