I’m sorry, but that’s RACIST?
And what if he pointed to a Black student, or a West Indian, or a Western European, or a Jew?
While I do not completely subscribe to the idea that one should never assume malice when incompetence is possible, this seems clear enough.
Will the school system please GROW THE HELL UP?
The statist bastards have co-opted the word Racist. They want to use it widely to condemn and shame anyone that doesn’t believe and act as they do.
It may be time to start teaching our kids the trick of the “non-apology apology” and exactly when to use it, and when not to. This situation would have been perfect. “I offer my regrets that the teacher and deputy head felt this was a racist comment.”
These school officials offer no respect, they should be given none in return beyond the very basic level of civility.
