We'll train our teachers better, but there is no discrimination' - North West school

SOUTH AFRICA

A teacher from Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke in the North West was suspended on Thursday following outrage over a picture she allegedly took of Grade R pupils in her class being seated separately from their white classmates on their first day of school.

The announcement was made by the North West department of education during a meeting at the school following demonstrations by community and political groups at the school.

The department said the teacher had been suspended with immediate effect.

TimesLIVE has learnt that an investigation into the school's principal was also being carried out.

As scores of demonstrators turned up outside Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke in the North West on Thursday to protest against allegations of segregation ...
North West Education MEC Sello Lehari on Thursday visited the school, following the uproar caused by an image of Grade R pupils who were separated by race on their first day of school on Wednesday.

On Thursday morning, parents of both white and black pupils as well as political party members gathered outside the school.

A group of parents of white pupils drove over the school fence with their vehicles and took away their children, saying they were rescuing them from angry protesters.

One white parent said: “If you are not happy here, take your child to another school, nobody is forcing you. Now they want to make this as if it's racism. Everyone just wants to make white people racists. We are not racists, we just want what was best for our children.”

School has to redeem it's image sharp sharp!
Who wants to be associated with a teacher that is discriminatory?

".....Now they want to make this as if it's racism. Everyone just wants to make white people racists. We are not racists, we just want what was best for our children.”

Very typical.
