Dear Bmews parents ….. how’d ya like to get a note like this?  Well, some did. DOOMED I tell ya.

Well .... she had to retract and apologize but that doesn’t count.  Her apology is meaningless.
What would induce the silly woman who btw should be sacked, to send off a letter to parents like this?
Makes one wonder just whose camp she is in.
Bet she votes Labour or Lib/Dem though.

And ... to add insult to injury parents were asked to pay a £5 transportation charge for the trip which was NOT voluntary to begin with.

When time after time I reuse the term Vilmar first used, and I repeat his words, “They are DOOMED!” this is what makes it so.

OK .... now if you are a parent and you got a note like this ...  ???

School wrote to parents telling them their eight-year-olds had to attend workshop on Islam - or be branded RACIST on their permanent record

Headmistress Lynn Small wrote to parents about multicultural school trip

Children will attend ‘Explore Islam’ workshop at Staffordshire University

Pupils would receive ‘Racial Discrimination note’ if they didn’t go, she said

Parents at Littleton Green Community School in Huntington complained

Staffordshire County Council stepped in and head had to apologise

By Harriet Arkell

Parents today accused a primary school of trying to ‘blackmail’ them after they were told their children would be marked down for racial discrimination if they did not attend a workshop on Islam.

The headmistress of Littleton Green Community School, in Huntington, Staffordshire, wrote to parents telling them about the school trip to the Explore Islam workshop at Staffordshire University next week.

They were told the Years Four and Six children would be looking at religious artefacts on their visit - and threatened with being labelled as racists ‘throughout their school career’ if they did not go.

‘Refusal to allow your child to attend this trip will result in a Racial Discrimination note being attached to your child’s education record, which will remain on this file throughout their school career.’

But after parents contacted the school and council chiefs intervened, they were then forced to make a U-turn.

Yesterday Mrs Small wrote to parents apologising for ‘inaccuracies’ in the previous correspondence., and asking them to ‘on reflection disregard a section from the earlier letter’.

South Staffordshire Conservative MP Gavin Williamson said the original threat was ‘bonkers’.

He said: ‘The idea of attaching a racial discrimination note to children’s education records saying it will remain on their file for the duration for their school career seems unfair, particularly when it is not the child’s decision whether or not he or she attends.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
