Surely you can understand that if someone says they don't want to work with asians "because they can't speak english" when they actually can, its a racial slur?

The girl's mother said: "
She asked to be taken out of her group because the other five students were Asians and four didn't speak English so there was no point in her being with them. When she pointed this out to the teacher she was accused of being racist."
The girl was accused of being a "racist", but no one said she was wrong according to the reports I have seen.
Head Dr Antony Edkins said: "
An allegation of a serious nature was made concerning a racially motivated remark by one student towards a group of Asian students new to the school and this country."
So if the other children could speak English, then the girl was a racist, but she'd have to be a liar as as well as a racist in that case. If they could, the Dr Edkins was in a good position to say so, but apparently he chose not to. Isn't that strange?

As for not bringing up concerns that your child isn't getting an education because the teacher's time is being spent with other children, I don't know of any decent parents who'd let that go without complaining to the school.

When it's an issue involving children of different races or cultures, it becomes so politically correct with some teachers that even "decent parents", or perhaps especially decent parents, fear to tread.
