Boy suspended from Parrswood High School in Manchester for saying ‘Free Palestine’.
See Manchester boy suspended from school for ‘racist abuse’ after shouting ‘free Palestine’ in class
What one wonders was racist about saying ‘free Palestine’ in class? Was it mentioning Palestine or is the idea of freedom now anti-Semitic too? On their front page they boast that ‘Every child succeeds’. Clearly the student who exercised freedom of speech has only succeeded in getting suspended.
This is the result of the Prevent programme and the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism.
The letter is here.
Perhaps you could write to

I hear you have suspended a child for saying Free Palestine
What does this mean ? That you don’t think Palestine should be free ?
Is there an islamophobia problem in your school ?
Do you know a third of Palestinians are Christian ?
What if a child cried “ long live Zionist Israel “ would they get a gold star ?
This action will traumatise children into not thinking for themselves
It’s smacks of racist bias
