At least this is what we understand from initial news reports.A 14 year old was arrested from Harrop Fold High School in Worsley, Greater Manchester , after her teachers reported "racist behaviour".
It is said that the girl reported her inconvenience sitting with 5 students who spoke mutually in a language she didnt understand, to which the teachers responded by calling police!
Excerpt from the report:
"
According to the girl, the five - four boys and a girl - then began talking in a language she didn't understand, thought to be Urdu, so she went to speak to the teacher. "I said 'I'm not being funny, but can I change groups because I can't understand them?' But she started shouting and screaming, saying 'It's racist, you're going to get done by the police'."
"
The report continues stating,
"Fewer than two per cent of pupils at Harrop Fold come from an ethnic minority. It had the worst GCSE results in the entire Salford LEA last year with just 15 per cent of pupils achieving five good passes including English and maths, a third of the national average."
But thanks to the police department . They dropped the charge against the girl, because, common sense tells you, this is normal, and not racist.
Why should the school respond to a situation like this by branding the girl racist? Why cant they handle the situation on their own? Perhaps this is a nasty tactics the school authorities came up with to scare away minorities who doesn't speak English.[read: Fewer than two per cent of pupils at Harrop Fold come from an ethnic minority.]
This type of stuff only helps to propagate seeds of racism.
