A 14 year old English girl was put in an 'all Asian' science tutorial in Salford. When she could not understand a word that was spoken, she 'politely asked the teacher if she could be transferred to a different group'.
The girl was held in a police cell - her shoeslaces removed - for nearly four hours 'accused of racism'.
Imagine the feelings of the girl's parents and community.
The powers that be, local and national have to answer some tough questions.

The story originally appeared in the Sunday Times.
If they do not mention the 'Asian' language involved, I assume they are terrified of reprisals, from guess who.

'hoho-haha-hehe' thinks this is about colour. For his information this is about decency. The 'Asian' language, I guess, is Urdu, so popular among Muslims in Salford.

Where did that story come from?
If it is true then that is disgraceful.
Of course, it might not be completely true - the media are notorious for blowing things out of all proportion in order to sell more papers.
What nationality was the teacher?

if i were a copper and was expected to take this kid to jail for this. i would go strait to my union and demand satisfaction. if the union was as chicken as the rest of these p.c, people rather than put a student through this i would walk of the job,Have these p.c. people got a secret plan to wind everybody up and cause more trouble, because thats what they do.

in my opinion it would appear that charges of racism are only brought against white British nationals
