The Madness of Political Correctness

Britain has decided to become an absolute parody of the malign consequences of political correctness and multiculturalims. Abandoning any pretense of common sense and self-preservation, Britain's intellectual elite and government leadership have steered the nation straight toward the shoals of ethnic and societal disintegration, which, of course, is the logical outcome of multiculturalism. Even school children aren't safe - in fact, they are the primary targets for indocrination and suppression.

A teenage schoolgirl was arrested by police for racism after refusing to sit with a group of Asian students because some of them did not speak English.

Codie Stott's family claim she was forced to spend three-and-a-half hours in a police cell after she was reported by her teachers.

Yes, you read that correctly. And, no, the story isn't from The Onion.

The 14-year-old - who was released without charge - said it had been a simple matter of commonsense and accused the school and police of an over-the-top reaction.

The incident happened in the same local education authority where a ten-year-old boy was prosecuted earlier this year for calling a schoolfriend racist names in the playground, a move branded by a judge "political correctness gone mad."

Codie was attending a GCSE science class at Harrop Fold High School in Worsley, Greater Manchester, when the incident happened.

The teenager had not been in school the day before due to a hospital appointment and had missed the start of a project, so the teacher allocated her a group to sit with.

"She said I had to sit there with five Asian pupils," said Codie yesterday.

"Only one could speak English, so she had to tell that one what to do so she could explain in their language. Then she sat me with them and said 'Discuss'."

According to Codie, the five - four boys and a girl - then began talking in a language she didn't understand, thought to be Urdu, so she went to speak to the teacher.

"I said 'I'm not being funny, but can I change groups because I can't understand them?' But she started shouting and screaming, saying 'It's racist, you're going to get done by the police'."

Codie said she went outside to calm down where another teacher found her and, after speaking to her class teacher, put her in isolation for the rest of the day.

A complaint was made to a police officer based full-time at the school, and more than a week after the incident on September 26 she was taken to Swinton police station and placed under arrest.

"They told me to take my laces out of my shoes and remove my jewellery, and I had my fingerprints and photograph taken," said Codie. "It was awful."

After questioning on suspicion of committing a section five racial public order offence, her mother Nicola says she was placed in a bare cell for three-and-a-half hours then released without charge.

This should be a Page One story on both sides of the Atlantic and Tony Blair should be called before the cameras - and Parliament - and made to explain how English law could have been twisted to produce this shocking incident. But that won't happen. And make no mistake, this isn't some accident of overzealousness on the part of police or school officials - this is exactly the outcome that the advocates of multiculturalism want. If it sounds like something out of Stalin's USSR, well, that should be no surprise, since the biggest advocates of multiculturalism hail from the hard left, the sort that still have an unabashed reverence for all things Soviet.

Yesterday Miss Stott [Codie's mother], 37, a cleaner, said: "Codie was not being racist." "The reaction from the school and police is totally over the top and I am furious my daughter had to go through this trauma when all she was saying was common sense. "

"She'd have been better off not saying anything and getting into trouble for not being able to do the work."

Ms. Stott is exactly right. It would have been better for Codie to simply go along and say nothing, but for Britain it would be disastrous. The whole point of this exercise was to frighten Codie - and anyone who objects to mass immigration to Britain - into silence. Codie was made an example in order to scare others from objecting to the wholesale annihilation of their nation and culture. Those who reported Codie to the police had exactly that in mind when they did so.

Headteacher Dr Antony Edkins said: "An allegation of a serious nature was made concerning a racially motivated remark by one student towards a group of Asian students new to the school and new to the country."

"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."

George Orwell himself could not have written a more sinister response. Dr. Edkins should have just said: "We will not stand for dissent in any form and will arrest anyone who dares to disagree with us." Actually, he pretty much did.

Ask yourself, would an "Asian" student (read: Pakistani) have been arrested if he'd objected to sitting with a group of English students? Would an "Asian" student be arrested for describing English students as "white" or by any pejorative term? The answer, you can bet, is no. Of course not. Why? Because the "anti-racism" laws are not written to deal with non-whites. They exist only to forcibly suppress white Britons and to silence them. These laws are an effective means for Britain's intellectual elite to impose its radical program for racial and cultural change on England, whilst silencing any reasonable objection.

Britons have becomes slaves in their own land. Britain, within a few generations, won't be Britain anymore.

And make no mistake. The multiculturalists in the US have exactly the same designs for America.
