Aye Willow i have to agree with u there, i thought it was all about equal ops n all but u dont get white british kids taking hols off for Eid whereas minority do get xmas breaks, one of my colleagues at another school had half her class n staff off school for religious celebrations leaving half a school just over left. They want equal ops then it should be equal as u say willow it seems the country is divided as to its main nationality n robbed of its original beliefs, like xmas n the cheek of not flyin the union jack at world cups as it would insult other nationals. I think if respect has to be a 2 way thing, we cant wipe out our countries identity. U go to other countries u have to respect their countries policies n would u think they would bow down to us - not necessarily so n this causes the racial problem more, i think whatever ppl do in their own homes is fine like native languages but in public i think if u live in the country u should speak its mother tongue in public places or attempt but its excusable not to bother at all which is slightly ignorant plus this causes problems with asian kids within school specially younger ones when the only time english is used is only at school, hampering the suffering education services further n also provoking racial problems. Some are racial out of insecurity of themselves but majority its about the system being over stretched unfair thus not being equal ops...... if all was fair there would be not much to argue about.

We've had it drummed into us that only black/asian/jews etc can suffer racist abuse and that the only ones who can be racist are the caucasians (Is that still an acceptable term?) This is total nonsense and it's about time we had some equality.
