I'm so angry after hearing what a teacher in a South Island school told his/her pupils: 'Blue-eyed students are more intelligent than brown-eyed students”.
What in hell was that teacher thinking if indeed he/she has a brain and how could that school's principal condone that? Apparently some parents thought this comment was okay. No doubt parents of blue-eyed kids.
The teacher said it was interesting to see the looks on the brown-eyed students' faces when they heard that comment. Ya think?
Try telling that to the parents of a brown-eyed kid, who has just committed suicide because they felt worthless, had lost all or any self-confidence they may have had and quite possibly were bullied by 'intelligent” blue-eyed students, who thought it was fun to taunt a brown-eyed student about their lack of intelligence.
I think this is disgusting, unacceptable and that teacher should be fired and never allowed to work in any school again. I am not a PC person but I really hope the PC brigade come down on that school, the principal and that teacher like a tonne of bricks. This is not Germany and we are not in the 1940s.
