Asian children are victims of political correctness


Social workers and police are ignoring abuse in Asian families out of political correctness, a charity said today.

Pressure to 'respect other cultures' meant nothing was done to protect victims and cases were handled badly, according to the NSPCC.

A report said Asians responsible for violence against children used their culture and religion as a shield to cover and justify abuse.

NSPCC manager Saleha Islam said: 'Asian children and their mothers suffer the double injustice of a community that would rather save face than deal with domestic violence and a system that lacks cultural understanding and so hides behind political correctness.'


Why are police putting political correctness before the welfare of children. It shouldn’t matter what the culture was in the backward country which they came from. They are in this country and should conform to our cultures and laws and not their own barbaric customs.

Political correctness is putting the lives of children at risk just so Asians don’t have their feelings hurt. The police and socisal services are much worse than the Asians that actually do this because they have the power to stop it from happening yet choose to sit by and do nothing while children are abused.

Headteacher wants to charge children to eat packed lunches

A headteacher wants children charged for bringing in packed lunches, so instead they eat the school's healthy Jamie Oliver-style meals.

Primary school heateacher Margaret Bousfield believes the increases in packed lunches are a protest against the Government's introduction of healthy meals, promoted by celebrity TV chef Jamie Oliver.

Ms Bousfield, of Fens Primary School in Hartlepool said: "My concern about packed lunches is that, in many schools, meals are healthy and some schools are seeing an increase in packed lunches.

"It seems that nationally more and more children are taking packed lunches and there seems to be an outcry against Jamie Oliver.

"The Government should allow schools to charge young people to bring packed lunches into school.

"There are cost implications for allowing young people to eat packed lunches in schools and introducing a cost may enhance the take-up of what are very healthy school meals."

In a document to the council, she said: "I'm not saying that every child has an unhealthy packed lunch.

"Why not has legislation on it? If the Government can tell schools what to provide in terms of food served that children pay for, then why not packed lunches?"

Who does this bureaucrat bitch think she is? The Nazis would love her to run their schools. Why on earth should there be legislation covering packed lunches? The government already legislates too much as it is and packed lunches aren’t important enough for Parliament to legislate on.

Mrs Bousfield is a teacher and should stick to teaching and she should not have any say over what her pupils eat during dinner time.

40% of children can't do basics

Four out of 10 children left primary school this summer without mastering the basics of reading, writing and maths, figures showed today.

Ministers hailed the latest national curriculum test results as the "best ever", after a one percentage point rise across English, maths and science.

But results in reading were no better than two years ago, while the proportion of children making the grade in writing showed no improvement since last year.

This is disgraceful especially when schools are cancelling subjects like PE, art, history and geography to concentrate on getting their pupils to pass. If they can’t get them to pass we should stop employing people as teachers who barely passed their own exams and stop giving teachers so much red tape.

Parents of bullies to be fined £1000

Parents of bullies could be forced to attend parenting classes or face a £1,000 fine, Education Secretary Alan Johnson has warned.

His message came as campaigners said 20,000 children were skipping school every day to avoid being bullied.

Mr Johnson said he wanted to create a "zero tolerance" culture towards bullying in an effort to stamp out the "despicable" and "intolerable" phenomenon.

New powers under the Education Act would allow parenting orders to be imposed on mothers and fathers of bullies, with a £1,000 fine if they failed to comply, he said.

I don’t think the government has any clue about how to stop bullying. There is no need for parenting classes. Parents know how to deal with their children but they are banned from using the only tool that is likely to stop misbehaviour and that is smacking. I don’t mean beating the kid up especially if they are only 7 but giving them one smack that is hard enough that they will feel the pain but don’t suffer any long term damage. Here are my proposals:

1. Bring back smacking. If the parent refuses to smack their child and their child continues to bully other children and misbehave then they should be sent to parenting classes paid for by them.

2. Free education is not a right. It is a privilege. Parents should be made to realise that. If they fail to stop their children from continuously misbehaving in school the child should lose their right to a free education until the child signs a contract on their behaviour. If they breach that contract they will lose free education forever. There will be no appeals allowed. Only the Minister of Education will be allowed to overturn the ruling.

3. Once losing free education there will be no need for child benefit unless they are sent to a private school paid out of their own pocket. If they can’t afford one it is tough. Seeing as they lose child benefit the child will be allowed to find a job if they want.

4. Teachers will be allowed to hit unruly pupils if they fail to behave after being asked once.
