‘because it might cause offence’

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

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?

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.

The only person “offended” was this Muslim-loving teacher.

he refused to take off the charity rubber bracelet

Good for him. A well educated and smart boy. Stand defiant in the face of idiocy.

Liberals are brainwashing the children of America!!

You read the abuses every day.

Cinco de Mayo - no American Flag shirts allowed

Kid with knife in emergency kit, locked in car - expelled.

Make a gun with your finger - suspended, put on FBI watch list.

and on and on!!

If the teacher had said to take it off because of the no jewelry rule than that’s one thing but to take it off because it might offend someone is another thing. But, hey, because of her probably taking offense it’s making headlines around the world, tee hee.

Did this school have any peaceniks in the 1960s who wore black armbands to protest the Vietnam War or nuclear arms as there were among American yutes?
