British Grade School pupils must not criticize their schools's slack administration

We read:
"Police visited an 11-year-old’s home after her school complained about a Facebook group she set up criticising her headmistress.

Her parents Andrew and Joy Bagguley said they feared one of their daughters had been involved in an accident when they saw the Police Community Support Officer on their doorstep.

But the officer was in fact there about the page set up by their daughter Leah, in protest at what she believed was head Georgina Frost’s failure to deal with a boy of five who the family say had threatened her younger sister, Libby, six.

The group, called Hate Mrs Frost, attracted 16 members before it was taken down by her parents when the school then attended by both the girls – Park Hall Primary in Stoke-on-Trent – told them about it.

The couple, who also have a 13-year-old daughter, admit Leah was wrong to set up the page, but said it would never have been posted if the school had properly dealt with the boy who they claim threatened to stab Libby. The boy was admonished by a learning mentor, but they say the school informed his parents only when pushed to do so.

The Bagguleys have since removed Libby from Parkhall and she now attends Moorside Primary School nearby.

If the Bagguleys truly want to save Libby from the hideous and destructive "PC-virus", they should remove her, not from school, but from Britain entirely. If only common sense could spread as fast and as wide as political correctness does.

Another example of a country that does not have the same freedoms as the United States. We in the U.S. are following closely behind with our prevailing attitude of Political Correctness. If we get that far, we deserve what we get.

The Pc stories here re the UK and USA sound pretty similar to me, so it's a bit partisan to feel one has significantly more freedoms in practice than the other.

Pretty similar, but far from the same. Even we're not that bad. When we do catch up, that will signal the start of the next American revolution, something the British pansy's don't have the balls to even think about.

Gee - isn't it wonderful that England is so free of real crime that their police force spends its time chasing children for Facebook pages.

Police look for easy "crimes" to gain their brownie points.
