Her entire school had a Cultural Diversity Day and all students were
told to wear something celebrating her own culture instead of the usual
school uniforms so she wore a dress that was essentially a British flag.
She was an A student but found herself punished for her choice of
clothing - along with other students - and her parents were called to
pick her up early.

Her parents were not at all happy and her community was very agitated as
well. The school gave an after-the-fact "apology" where they promised to
reconsider how the event was run the next year. I'll believe that when I
see it!

 Yeah I heard about that one too and it seemed to me yet another
example of "Two Tier".
 I'd love to have my daughter's opinion on this (she lives in southern
England) but she'd probably think I was making politics and she
disagrees with almost all my political opinions.
 She >IS< very pleased to live in one of the two electoral districts
(Rhino - I'd normally just say "ridings" but that would confuse
everyone but you and me) in the UK that has a Green party MP.

A proud supporter of the Watermelon Party? (Green on the outside, Red on the inside). Oh dear, my condolences.....
