@I remember @and the case. It was at Kettlethorpe High School in Wakefield, an autistic 14-year-old accidentally scuffed a Quran – a dare he accepted after losing a game of Call of Duty. He received death threats. The school suspended him. His terrified mother was marched to the local mosque to apologise pu, begging for her son's safety while agreeing not to press charges against the children who had threatened to kill him. The police recorded the scuffed Quran as a hate incident. The death threats received words of advice.
Ten miles away, a teacher remains in hiding five years on. Same authority. Same police force. Same playbook. The institution that should have protected both of them instead accommodated the mob and punished the victims. And now the government is rolling out a national monitoring framework that will embed that accommodation into every school, hospital and workplace in the country.
You're right, it is grotesque. And it's getting worse, not better.
