My first response was an open mouth and mute shake of the head, a feeling of "how can this happen?" My second was feeling so very sorry for the children, what a terrible humiliation for them and rather frightening also.

I'm glad it's been reported, very glad that the spolight is on the community in which it happened, and I hope they keep that spotlight on very brightly to humiliate the perpetrator and those who would support her.

I had a grandmother who used to refuse to sit on a bus seat if she saw a non-white person get off it. I laughed at first, it was so silly, but then got mad. I made up a black boyfriend who was also a vicar (she didn't like them either) and tormented her by talking about him.
