Mr. Field, who works in the sea restoration, said: ‘Courtney was very embarrassed and could not understand what he was doing wrong.

Courtney’s Cultural Day Speech

Today I want to talk about my culture – British culture – and why is it important to me.

We have many traditions, including our love to talk about tea in England, to talk about the weather and our royal family.

We have a great history like kings and queens, castles and writers like Shakespeare.

At the same time, modern, variety and changing always – music fashion and dishes from all over the world are involved in daily life. And let’s not forget the fish and chips!

At the same time, our way of speaking, our humor, justice and courtesy values and a mixture of old traditions and new ideas.

But sometimes at school, we only hear other cultures – this is great because it is interesting and important to learn about different countries. But it may feel that being a British is not considered as a culture, because this is the majority.

I think culture should be for everyone – not just for people from other countries or pasts. Being British is still a culture and this is also important.

So let’s celebrate all cultures – be away or home here.

The child’s father added: ‘The day was to celebrate everyone’s culture, and Courtney chose this flag of unity, so he was able to celebrate it.

“ He wrote this speech with him and was very proud of what he did.

‘The next thing I got a call to say that around 9 o’clock that it was not allowed and unacceptable.’

He added: ‘I could not get away from work until about noon. They sat him at the reception all morning in front of the receptionists and held him alone.

“ He is a flat student, one of the brightest of the year and has never been in trouble before, so he was really upset.

“ All the children in my eyes, the British, I think I am a tolerant person, but that was not true.

“ I wanted an answer to what they thought it was acceptable – and no one could give me a flat answer, I wanted to know how they justified it.

“ I talked to the president of the year and said he wasn’t the best person to talk about it, so I can assume that he doesn’t really agree with him.

“ Obviously came over him, but I’m not sure who made the decision.

“ I said I was going to buy a phone and I took Courtney directly for a nice dinner to cheer on him.

“ If you chose and what he wrote in his speech I was proud of what he wrote.

“ Wanted to celebrate to be British, could not understand what was wrong.

“ He was not the only child chosen – a child from a farming history, traditional straight cover and controlled shirt was turned on the doors.

They did not read or listen to the speech that really celebrated “ inclusive and other cultures.

“ `British culture was not to be celebrated. He was punished for being proud to be British.

“ I put an article on Facebook and really I received support messages from Poland to Australia and America from all over the world.

‘Everyone says how ridiculous it is to celebrate where they come from.

“ The school now wants to go back and read the conversation, but no longer feels comfortable or wearing the dress.

“ The school now feels like he’s passing a little bit. Everything could be avoided for the school to monitor its own inclusion policies and allow everyone to share a little about their culture. ‘

At the weekend, the school contacted Mr. Field and has been apologizing for the movement since then.

Stowe Valley Trust’s spokesman said: ‘We are proud of the diversity of our students and the rich heritage they bring to our community. We are determined to develop an environment where each student is respected, valued and involved.

‘On Friday, July 11, on the Culture Celebration Day, an event that was greatly upset by one of our students, our family and the members of the wider community occurred.

‘We offer our intimate and unprotected apologies to cook deeply from the boredom caused by this.

“ Since then, we talked directly to the student and his family to listen to his worries and think about how this could be handled better.

‘We are determined to learn from this experience and to ensure that every student is recognized and supported while he is proud of his inheritance.

‘As a school, we strengthen our policies and personnel training to ensure that our practices reflect our values of understanding, respect and understanding for everyone.’
