Girl not allowed to wear Union Jack dress

So you are saying the parents deliberately sent her to school in the flag as a rebuttal against the school and the parents also wrote the speech for her.

Parents help kids with homework, whatever the extent of the input, its not unusual. You're setting it up as a black and white either or, when the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Also what the heck is a wellbeing and culture coordinator apart from someone paid to just come up with crap in order to justify their pay.
Or do they have another roll also at the school - if not then how much does a wellbeing and culture coordinator at a School get paid

I spotted that as well. I've found a couple of job adverts for a "Wellbeing Coordinator". I think it means culture as in "school ethos" rather than "different cultures". Obviously, in this case that has caused a lot of confusion! It sounds a bit like a school counsellor you see in the USA.

As I mentioned it's either that or they're a bit thick, which one do you think it is?

I have no idea. My theory is that they have had enough of the school pushing this kind of stuff down their throats all the time and had a little fight back. Not sure about the lad in flat cap and brown chequered shirt and a wax coat though. Maybe the School thought he was dressing up as Nigel Farage

The wet lettuce lefty liberal types wouldn’t dare agree that schools are pushing any such things on kids, don’t be daft!

I think it's nice that pupils from different cultures get to learn about each other. It can only be a good thing as far as I am concerned.

Yep nothing wrong with that.

Yes that’s fine, no issue with that. I was more referring to when it just goes too far, and we all know it does, yet some folk just don’t like to admit it. Generally speaking, wet lettuce lefty liberal types.
