Black schoolgirl suspended for 'questioning Remembrance Day'

"This is not racist it’s just. It's just a reflection of what some young people feel. It's challenging but, how is this racist?” the girl's mother has said

A BLACK schoolgirl who questioned why she should care about Remembrance Day when so many people don't care about Black History Month has been suspended for expressing these views, her mother has said.

The girl, who attends St Michael’s Catholic College in Southwark, is understood to have been suspended and sent to a pupil referral unit for two weeks.
