I know an absolute TONNE of crunchy vegan mummies (White ones ) who would absolutely lose their **** about a school using manual labour as punishment without parental consent.

There is absolutely nothing in this story - whatsoever - to suggest that the mothers anger is in any way based on cultural beliefs and even less evidence that it is in any way sexist.

It was a nice way of avoiding answering my original question, I asked you a hypothetical question as to if it came to light that several other parents objected, all of the same culture, what your views on that would be. Would you not see an agenda.

If there is an agenda it would not be so unreasonable to suggest that the fact that it was A boy and not a girl at the centre of her grievance may have had something to do with her OTT reaction. If so that would be sexist.

Btw this may potentially have something to do with culture, but where does race come into it. Race and culture are not mutually exclusive. It just sounds like another excuse to undermine my opinions by calling me racist. Bored with it now.

Some obscure hypothetical does not excuse the prejudice you have displayed in this thread sorry.

I have every right not to feel supportive of cultures that support sexism whatever race that culture may be. It has bugger all to do with race and if a culture blatantly indulges in sexism they should be called out on it. To imply people can't do so without be called bull**** names is PC intimidation.

Honestly talk about hypocrisy.

You need to calm down and stop continually depicting these people as arch-villains. Have you heard of 'cultural racism'? its a real thing. Every time you spout off about Muslims, what you're doing, subconsciously or not, is saying "Western = civilized” and “Islamic = uncivilized.”

As Craig Considine so rightly said, "Racism is changing in its form, but the beast is still very much alive and well."

Oh more names to beat people with. More PC intimidation. What progress. I'd say the ISIS beast is thriving better than any of us.

You beat on Muslims all the time! Its not PC intimidation, its just compassion for my fellow beings, something you greatly lack.

ISIS want people like you. They want nothing more than to cause a divide. What you have done is fallen for their agenda.

Are you an expert on ISIS - you seem to think you know them well. I don't agree with you on that and am not going to accept your words as fact because as far as I can see it is simply opinion. If you have more than opinion - be my guest - fire away.

But that hasn't happened so your question is utterly bizarre! "Aha but if their skin peeled off revealing a scaly hide and tail, might you not then agree that they be lizard folk?"

Guesswork. Not even a guess with anythibg at all behind it to make it a reasonable one... It is a straight up guess pure and simple. You have absolutely no idea whether or not the reaction would have been the same had it been a girl rather than a boy. In the absense of such evidence it's only reasonable to assume that her reaction would have been exactly the same.

Btw this may potentially have something to do with culture, but where does race come into it. Race and culture are not mutually exclusive. It just sounds like another excuse to undermine my opinions by calling me racist. Bored with it now.

Because you have no idea what their culture is. You have assumed that you do based on the name of the mother and the colour of the boy in the pictures skin. There is not one further word about their religion, culture, country of origin, how many generations in the country. Nothing. At all. There's the story, a name and a picture and you have made all sorts of guesses and assumptions based on those three details. And now YOU are saying that religion and culture has nothing to do with race. Correct! That is what everyone else is telling g you! You are the one assuming that you know about their culture, and their motivations, and their likelihood of being sexist, based on nothing but their race! That is racial prejudice. Pure and simple.
