Must not tell blacks they need to work harder

Judging by their generally low levels of economic and educational achievement they do need to but you must not tell them that, apparently

Pupil, 11, told to work harder by school worker 'because as a black person he would struggle in life for not being white'

The mother of an 11-year-old boy has received an apology after a school official told her son he would have to 'work harder in life' - because he is black.

Rosamaria Failla, 34, discovered that a truancy officer had told her child Sonny that he would struggle in life because he is not a 'white British boy'.

Sonny, who suffers from ADHD, had been struggling with teachers at Bowmansgreen School, Hertfordhire, when his attendance started slipping.

In a bid to make her British-born son feel better about education his mother arranged for council truancy officers to visit him at home in July.

But Mrs Failla was upset when the officer gave Sonny a brutal evaluation of his life prospects, warning him he would 'have to work harder in life to gain people’s respect' because of his colour.

She complained to police and the council about the comment, which she says was: 'Because you are not a white British boy, you are going to have to work harder in life to gain people’s respect and achieve high things,' which she claims is racist.

Hertfordshire County Council has now launched a full investigation into the claims while the officer has written a letter of apology to the family.

This is probably advice that the kid needed but there is not much chance of him heeding it now.
