British School Threatens to Label Students ‘Racists’ Unless They Attend Islam Field Trip

-By Warner Todd Huston


England’s Staffordshire University.

British citizens are up in arms at a British primary school that has threatened to label kids as “racists” for years on their public school record if they refuse to attend a field trip meant to push Islam on kids. This is a sick example of multiculturalism by force, apparently.

Lynn Small, headmistress at Littleton Green Community School in Huntington, Staffordshire UK, sent a letter home with kids informing parents that if their kids were withheld from a special workshop meant to push Islam a “racial discrimination note” would be attached to their permanent school record and they’d be branded racists for years to come.

The kids are in what we would call a grade school here in the USA in a school that serves kids from 8-years to 11.

The headmistress’ letter says the field trip is part of a “statutory requirement” for kids “to learn about different cultures.”

“The workshop is at Staffordshire University and will give your child the opportunity to explore other religions,” administrator Small ominously said. “Children will be looking at religious artefacts, similar to those that would be on display in a museum. They will not be partaking in any religious practices.”

“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 career,” Small explained in her best jackbooted demeanor.

On top of all those threats, parents are then informed that they have to pay an extra fee for their kids to go on the field trip.

Fortunately, the outrage from parents was enough that government officials got involved and told this jackbooted school boss to retract her threats. Small sent a second letter pleading for parents to disregard her previous missive.

If there was any real justice in England she would have been fired, too.
