This is a strange one to me.

Yesterday Miss Stott, 37, a cleaner, said: "Codie was not being racist." "The reaction from the school and police is totally over the top and I am furious my daughter had to go through this trauma when all she was saying was common sense. "

yup.

some of these european countries have the stupidest laws when it comes to things like this. Obviously an overeations by the suppossed 'responsible' people at the school. Also a stupid law.

I mean even if you want to try and outlaw racist shit arresting people for it is completely stupid. If , and I don't condone it, you wanted it to make sense it should only be an add on charge IF it encourages another crime to occur (ie property destruction, assault atc.)

I think this girl is right,theres another couple of cases in the UK at present,something similar:
A airline worker for British Airways,suspended for wearing a cross and chain.
A teacher who wears a vail in class,who has been told to remove it.At her job interview,she didnt wear a vail.

I think it's odd that they would allow a crowd of Muslim fundies to yell for the death of the Prime Minister, yet would arrest this girl for being racist.

As sad as it is to say this, white people in Britain and the US are held to a different standard by our own respective governments. That's exactly why they arrested this girl; she was a sacrificial lamb in our quest to show the world how "fair" and "right-minded" we are.

Politically correct,is the term at the minute I think,and radicals and extremeists,especially in Britain the Muslims and in America the Mexicans are screwing yous with it.

The world is populated with all different kinds of people. Unfortunately, not all of them are as intelligent and fair-minded as the posters on this forum.

This is strange news. I can't imagine something like this happening at any reasonable school in a class headed by a reasonable teacher.

Why don't they just go home??? If these people want to act like Middle Easterners, then they should be living in the Middle East - not here.

Fuck,try picking her out in a lineup,must be the only people in the world to wear their bombing cloths,when their not bombing.
If I wore that down the street,the cops would be on me in 5 minutes.

If she's able to do the job with her veil on, that's fine. If she can't, then she should either take off the veil, or find a different job.

Sometimes, sure. Not all of us are afforded the luxury of being a genius 24/7.
First of all she's DRESSING not 'acting'...
Interesting differentiation. Quite profound, actually. Color me impressed.
...and 'like a' MUSLIM not a 'middle easterner'.
Another poignant observation! Holy shit - the hits just keep on coming! Goddamn, that was so keen and.....precise - I'm at a loss for words.......

Your sheer ability to characterize and contrast is mind boggling, 500. You truly are an amazing person....

No, I don't hate the Italians that much, but it's an interesting non sequitur, nonetheless.
