   Remember that movie Judge Dredd with the old Sylvester Stallone? He is repeatedly fined 'credits' for violating the 'verbal morality code'. Looks like we're not far off. And we're being trained to allow different races to overrun our country. This is our country, I'm an Englishman, I determine who is let in, not the corrupt NWO soaked traitors in government

   How subtle evil is. You are all being mislead, and you have missed the obvious. This article conveniently leaves out many pertinent facts, because it is crafted to engender your outrage. ---

In the long run, the powers that be want a backlash, so that those who are different will have no place. One needn't to be gay to be persecuted for being gay. One merely needs to be perceived as gay. ---

The way out of this mess is simple and before you all. ---

Follow the golden rule. Treat others as you would like to be treated, if you were in their situation, and judge not lest you be judged. ---

The choice is yours to make. Stop playing the whining victim.

   What on earth is this country coming to. I think the police and the school have acted apaulingly. What that poor girl must have been going through when in a police cell doesnt bear thinking about. What we need is a strong politician to get to grips with all this political correctness going daft. Some one like John Reid or evan Jack Straw. I hope the teacher who reported this and the police man/women who didnt throw this out as absurd can sleep at night. People like these make more problems than they solve.

   This is so insane, I don't know where to begin. I shudder to think of this kind of Orwellian thought-police state taking root here, but it will.

Thought crimes are instituted by scoundrels and cowards.

Where is the common sense?

Arresting this child is abuse and a total outrage.

I doubt very much if a group of English kids went to Burma or Pakistan or Malawi, that a local kid there would want to be in their group either.

Enough of the white guilt. No one else gives a rip about anyone but their own tribe, why do we need to not only bend over grovel in the dirt in gratitude that we are even able to exist?

Hang in there, Codie, you did nothing wrong!!!!

   I am very happy that the girl was sent down! Bet that little girl was more racist than you think. Well all I can say is the press is making the school look bad not the child. I hope they bring back the cane. Good day!

   I do not believe that the treatment given to Codie was the correct procedure. I have been in teaching myself and have on occasion had students say things, which were not in order when it came to race issues. I always dealt with it myself and said to the student did their parents know they talked like that and would they like to know; the student always backed down. The main reason for this was that many teachers go over the top on racist and sexist issues. Anyway was Codie taken out of school with her mother's permission? It is ilegal to take achild out of school without parental consent.

   (1) The Asian students should be there in the first place; they should remain in their own country.

(2) The Blair/Labour regime is a criminal, nation-wrecking entity. Blair should be tried and jailed and the Labour Party shoud be declared a criminal organization.

(3) "Anti-Racism" and Multiculturalism are demonically evil ideologies.

(4) I thank God every day I no longer live in Britain.

   Well I am glad to see some brilliant coments from people all over the world. This is a disgrace what Codie went through. The teachers and Police should be totally ashamed they have taken it this far. Codie was 100 right on asking if she could be with another group. Let's face it the poor girl could not understand a word they spoke, it's not racist asking can she be put with a group of children she understands. Like one guy pointed out what a total waste of our tax payers money, and yes this still is our country, well what you can call our country. Because our government is letting us all down by keep accepting more foreigners into our country. Why can't we say "NO", enough is enough now we are English and all and sundry are walking all over us. Well done Codie there is nothing wrong with voicing your opinion and the teachers you have should be ashamed of what they put you through. Bet they would not of done it to there own son or daughters. Good luck Codie. Kim xxx (A mother of 2 son's who I hope can voice there opinion if they need to)

   Funny, I always thought that English was the national language of the UK. Silly me! Its Urdu!! What was I thinking? I'll tell you what Im thinking: Its a national disgrace what this girl was put through by these so-called "teachers". There're the ones who should be locked up if for no other reason than at best, they are a public nuisance,at worst they are a danger to society as a whole. Poliitical Correctness! Bull! Another catch-all phrase for ultra left wing liberals to hide behind while shoving their agenda down everyones throats. Its more like Poliitical Cowardness. Someone needs to stand up and say "Enough is enough" After all, whos country is it anyway?? Codie has my deepest respect for speaking out the way she did.

   Seemingly lost in this debate is the issue of rule of law. Completely irrelevent are the questions of precisely what she said, or how she phrased it, or whether enough has been done to integrate the immigrants, or make them feel welcome and at home, or make them feel competent as speakers of English whether it is actually true or not.

The question is, "did the girl break any specific law that is actually written down?" Did she threaten their lives (assault) or something like that that we can understand as a real crime?

My guess is "no"; more likely she was arrested for breaking those unwritten laws about having politically-approved attitudes.

As someone who is mixed-race and whose half-Asian children are even more so, the wisdom of enforcing political attitudes with draconian policies is completely lost on me. This is called "fear" not "love" or even "respect".

   My first thought was if the Asian pupils were not fluent in English what on earth were they doing in a science class? Science is complicated enough even when one's Mother tongue is English. Secondly I agree with the person who mailed this is PC going bananas. It remains to be seen what the actual comments were, but I do think in all moderation the young lady might have made an effort at least to communicate with the other students. Areprimand would have been enough. To call in the police was ludicrous!

   I bet she made far worse remarks than is elluded to in this report, I remember how kids at school are. It was a little over the top to arrest her but perhaps it made her think twice about being racist. If the other kids genuinely couldn't speak English (which I doubt is the case) then perhaps I can see where she is coming from. However I think this story doesn't give enough of the details.

   It's nice to know the police behave like Nazis when confronted with someone's rights. Does school have the right to make you associate iwht anyone they wish. If so, the school district should provide interpretors.

   What on earth is going on.?The young girl in question has a equal right to education and if she could not understand what was being said in the group then it seems a perfectly reasonable request to change groups.Why is the racist card always played.? In this instance the teachers should hold responsibilty for a complete over (PC) reaction,they have caused this situation which in turn will cause resentment which will lead to us to an us and them situation.I beg the question,which incidentally I know the answer to, if the asian girl had said that she could not understand the english girls would that asian girl have been whisked down to the police station.Silly question really. Shame on the teachers who have disgracefully overreacted and created sitution.One way racism which is eroding the rights of the majority in order to not upset the minorities...wake up these policies are creating what you are so desperate to avoid.
