British Schoolgirl Thrown in Jail For "Racism"
The sickness known as multiculturalism is degenerating into a form of totalitarianism as frightening as it is absurd. When 14-year-old British schoolgirl Codie Stott was put in a discussion group made up of Muslims who jabbered away in Urdu because only one of them knew any English, she asked to be put in an English-speaking group so as to be able to complete her science class assignment. In response, teachers reported Codie to the police, and she was arrested for racism.
The little girl allegedly spent 3 1/2 hours in a bare prison cell. As her mother observed:
She'd have been better off not saying anything and getting into trouble for not being able to do the work.
That's the idea. Codie was finally released without charges, after authorities deemed that she had been sufficiently terrified. Robert Whelan of the Civitas think tank notes:
A lot of these arrests don't result in prosecutions — the aim is to frighten us into self-censorship until we watch everything we say.
Two weeks after the incident Codie is back in school, although she's been put in a different science class. But she's not out of the woods yet. Her school is investigating before deciding what action to take. Declaimed Headteacher Dr. Antony Edkins:
We aim to ensure a caring and tolerant attitude towards people and pupils of all ethnic backgrounds and will not stand for racism in any form.
Here's how Muslim immigrants repay this sanctimonious solicitude:
The same school district made the news last April when a 10-year-old boy was actually hauled into court for allegedly calling another little kid a "Paki." When District Judge Jonathan Finestein observed that the decision to prosecute that case demonstrated "how stupid the whole system is getting," teachers union leaders assailed him for "feeding a pernicious agenda" that aided the hated (by lefties) BNP.
If anyone is benefiting Europe's nationalist right, it is the totalitarian moonbats who leave people with no other option other than dhimmitude.

I'd hate to meet her in a dark alley.

Yeah, "intolerance" is a one-way street in Eurabia, isn't it? We must tolerate those who want us killed, but not those who take exception to those who want us killed!
And the left wishes America were more like the Euros? No, thanks!

Wasn't George Orwell British? Doesn't look like it sunk in.

Well she should thank that idiot of an instructor for slapping the cuffs on her. That'll teach her. Teach her what? That these banal rules based on loose political interpretation and convenience serve only to encourage the lawless and punish the innocent. More of the same is coming... just remember though...lots of youngsters soon to be adults are reading what happened and because of it, they, unlike their half-asleep elders will be less inclined to tolerate this bullshit in the future.
