Teacher orders boy, 10, to remove Help for Heroes wristband worn in memory of Lee Rigby 'because it might cause offence'

A teacher allegedly ordered a 10-year-old boy to take off his Help for Heroes wristband because it could cause offence.

Tracy Tew was shocked when her son Charlie was put on a report card at Maldon Primary School in Essex after he refused to take off the charity rubber bracelet sold to honour injured soldiers.

Charlie wears the wristband - bought at the Colchester Military Festival - in honour of murdered solider Lee Rigby and service personnel in his family, including his great-granddad and uncle.

‘because it might cause offence’

The dumb teacher brought MORE attention to it by objecting to it...

It’s becoming time to “offend back” the Obamaholes who are “offended”.

They get offended.

We out offend them by 10 dB. (Look it up, libtards.)

England is case in point. Abandon God and the pagans will fall against you, just ask the Ancient Israelites. Muslims now run the UK, and they’ll be setting up pedophile summer camps in the fall.

Muzzy Common Core type schools can’t have an infidel reminding the public that their kind ran a soldier down and then proceeded to stab and hack him to death with blades. No, no that’s politically incorrect to accuse your Muslim brethren of doing that when it was viewed by witnesses in public areas.

Active defiance is needed. Refuse to comply.

When I was in elementary school, kids had Vietnam POWs bracelets, then again, we didn’t have the right not to be offended but none of us knew anything about Vietnam either.
I get the feeling that today, teachers force their views on kids so kids know GWB was evil and Odinga is their master.

“AND I’M OFFENDED BY YOUR STUPIDITY! SO THE WRISTBAND STAYS!”

Can teachers be removed for being offensive?

Goodness gracious, not to give “offense”.

Especially to the homocidal maniacs who are Muslims and recent imports to Old Blighty.

I wish Alfred the Great, or Longshanks, or some other REAL Briton could arise from the grave, expel all those monsters and deal with his own people who have become so pusillanimous and cowardly.

Anything that is patriotic or supports Western culture is “Offensive” to immigrants. What does it say about the immigrants?

“because it could cause offence”

Perhaps the teacher “offended” the boy by telling him to remove it? Do you think that stupid twit thought of THAT?

Yeah, might as well give ‘em a real reason. If that was me in the 4th or 5th grade, I might have told the teacher to “eat me”.

I read the whole article, at the beginning it says something about someone (and never says who) might be offended. Then later the article quotes the Headteacher Tracy Thornton insisted wearing wristbands is against the school’s jewellery policy.

So which one is it? Apparently they can’t get their stupid reasons together.

Eradication of Islam will first require the nuclear obliteration of Mecca, the Kaaba, the cursed Black Stone (which is nothing but pieces), the Grand Mosque; followed by the Dome of the Rock, Al-Aqsa mosque, the cities of Qom & Qarbala (where pious muzzies bloody themselves) & the cave of the Twelfth Imam.

Just for starters. Muzzies mean to conquer the world even if by murdering one “infidel” at a time. They’ll never stop.

Would love to see a headline in the Daily Mail “Muslim attackers beaten to death by angry counterattackers shouting `Drummer Rigby!’”.
