Thursday she got an email from Peter, the father of the boy. Monday, she spoke with him."As a mother of two beautiful brown girls felt directly addressed imagine that this would happen to my girls, that's terrible, and as a politician I thought.. What can I do?"
School management should be proactive
The Mees classmates at the College Waterlant spoke only Turkish and Moroccan. Mees was scolded for butter cup and cunt-Hollander. He was always alone in the canteen.According to his father, the school could offer him a safe environment in which they picked him up from school.
Asante criticizes the school: "The father told that the school term had the choice to pick Tit School That sounds nice, but that is not the correct setting of a school Schools must immediately intervene.. in such a case. The school has not been proactive. "
Not only a leather factory
Asante first reaction was: this is outrageous and can not. "Every child should be able to feel safe at school," she says. "A school has two main tasks: educating our children and the co-education of children A school is not just a leather factory If children are discriminated against, you have to intervene a school..."
The Labour politician is not planning to ask the Minister of Education for clarification: "This is primarily a matter for the alderman of Education in Amsterdam I'm going to investigate to see if this problem nationwide plays. . It is not obvious that it plays only in Amsterdam, but I have no facts or figures thereon. "
The school was not available for comment.
