Boarding School Criticised For Forcing Mask Exempt Children to Wear Yellow Badges
An English boarding school has come under fire for asking pupils to wear a “yellow badge” to show they are exempt from using a face mask. The Telegraph has more.
Farringtons School in Kent, which charges £34,050 per year for boarders, has made it compulsory for children to wear face masks in classrooms and corridors following a rise in cases of COVID-19.
In a letter to parents, David Jackson, the school’s headmaster, said that pupils who are exempt from wearing masks “should wear a yellow badge to indicate this”.
The move has been criticised by family groups, who say it is “deeply inappropriate” given the “historic connotations” with yellow badges.
Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe were forced to wear a yellow star so they could be easily marked out for segregation and discrimination.
Molly Kingsley, co-founder of parent campaign group UsForThem, said: “Asking children to wear some form of exemption marker has been quite common in schools and unbelievably this specific example of asking them to wear a yellow badge is not in isolation.
“It should not need explaining why this is a deeply inappropriate thing to ask a child to do. This has historic connotations which are deeply uncomfortable for many people.”
She added that children who are medically exempt from face masks may already be vulnerable, and asking them to wear a yellow badge will only serve to “stigmatise” them even more.

this one?
Perhaps they are implemented by a sceptic turning regulations up to 11 to highlight how crazy they are?
Might start wearing one of these with ‘unvaccinated’ (perhaps in German) typed in the middle. What is the translation for above?

It annoys them, wear it more.
“The head of the UK-based Centre for Countering Digital Hate, Imran Ahmed, said anti-vaxxers in particular had “instrumentalised” anti-Semitism as it had given them new audiences, and he was angered by the use of the yellow Star of David.
“I cannot think of many things more disgusting than comparing vaccines that will save countless lives to the industrial slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust,” he told the BBC.”
Here’s Imran:

If you want to piss them off seriously, point out that the Holocaust was also already engineered to save a countless lives of a decent majority endangered by a filthily selfish minority.

Too long mate, you’re assuming an attention span…
Anyone around that area in say the local SITP group protesting outside the school?
I’m going with one that says:
SELFISH unPRICKed. Need to work on it but you get the gist.
Unvaccinated. German impfen is English to vaccinate. The participle is geimpft, equivalent to vaccinated. The un- prefix is the same in both languages.
lol! only a matter of time
What we definitely need more of right now is echoes of the 1930s. Thanks for that, posh Kentish twits.
This is flat out demonic child abuse. Arrest these disgusting criminals doing this to innocent children who have ZERO risk from Covid19, if it even exists at all.
They pretended they didn’t know and were “horrified” to realise that people might compare their yellow badges of segregation to other yellow badges of segregation.
£35,000/year to have your child there? Where do these people get their money? From selling face masks??!!
Wow! No way they haven’t known the connotations of this.
Hang your heads All those involved.
They are a division of the Marxist Branch Covidians that comprise the teaching ‘profession’ today.
Everything about this is disgusting.
Farringtons School, Chislehurst, Kent BR7 6LR should be investigated and probably shut down, immediately.
Grammar schools and comprehensives still in Kent?
Yes, there are. There are secondary schools but as to whether they’re still classed as comprehensive I couldn’t say. It’s been a long time since I was part of the state education programming system!
Secondary Midens perhaps?
I only just thought of that but I’ve no idea if its original; comes of watching too much Time Team.
I used to use the term Second Class Modern because everyone in the small north Midlands town I grew up in (1960s) knew that was what it was.
It won’t be shut down by Johnson’s corrupt government. It more likely be given praise and be cited as an example to others.
I doubt if the ‘children’ who attend are as ‘innocent’ as made out to be.
Most of the parents able to afford such high fees are employed by the government, Whitehall, local government, quangos and companies locked into close relationships with the forgoing organisations. The managements of which are seasoned back-scratchers who regularly sashay into new higher-paid positions.
‘Their’ children will given the placebo saline vaxx.
The wearers of the yellow badges will be marked out for the killer no. 3 vaxx.

Labour calls for increase in rate children are vaccinated against Covid-19
Kier obviously wants to keep Boris as PM.
More like Baron Von Starmer is wanting a leadership role in the post reset NWO?
Keir Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service when the decision was made to NOT investigate Sir Jimmy Savile. Now hes SIR Keir Starmer. See how this game works?
Also he’s a member of the Trilateral Commission.
‘A poor man’s Bilderberg Group’, a friend calls it.
second attempt …..correct. These are the people who infect the public sector with their chronic ineptitude; they slide up the pole that is not too greasy until they are “found out” – this can be, but not restricted to, serious mismanagement and is no more easily recognised than in the higher management echelon cock ups in NHS trusts. This opens up a new career path – either to another tax payer funded sinecure where the key skills are to hold meetings and not make decisions; they get the gig because the appointment committee is stuffed with their “chums” who have gone down this path a while before. Or they go into politics first, fill their contacts book, distinguish themselves – mainly in opposition – and then take their world class expertise to the
privatepublic sector and repeat. This is a more developed “pathway” – sorry but it seems to be the buzzword of choice – amongst the socialists – LibDems are less prevalent for reasons that escape me ( haha) – and Hodge and Spelman spring to mind – these leeches are easy to spot – they tend to be “sir” if male and “Dame ” if female.Time for conversation on mandatory COVID-19 vaccines, say WHO

Yet another article in the Telegraph where they don’t trust their readers to comment on the content.
This is happening far more frequently of late, but I suppose we should not be too surprised; those thirty pieces of silver have to be earnt somehow.
Even when you can comment on articles they will delete and then ban you if their fat black woke lesbian moderator doesn’t agree with what you write.
Nothing compared to the auto-censorship of medical links on youtube
Snap out of it and stop wearing them you MSM brainwashed fuckwits!
PLUS They’re face coverings not masks.
Not to the true believers –

Fabric masks also cause all kinds of infections with people breathing inn theirn own stale air.
I’m pretty certain that I would have been in the Awkward Squad at school, refusing to wear masks and now searching out a Yellow Star.
My mates big sister was something in the local Amnesty International, hopefully she’d be on the right side and able to give us advice, the law, illegal juvenile detention, police brutality and the rest.
My mum was a proper WW2 Nurse so would have been able to patch us all up if the hospitals said
‘No Entry Unless Fully Vaccinated’
after taking a kicking from the filth.
You would have been a weird sheep….. as mentioned in another great Delingpod… give it a shot

To be honest these two are part of the problem that is overwhelming American academia
Teaching a form of sociology dressed up as science, all a big pretence which they get away with by validating each others nonsense ‘work’; defining people and groups to fit their imaginary theories and then get surprised when students take it to the extreme and come back to bite them in the ass. Moaning about being on the receiving end of a process that they encouraged in the belief that they were contributing something useful to the world.
If I remember correctly Greendale College is where Jordan Peterson went to deliver a speech/lecture about academic freedom having been briefly cancelled from his own lecture hall by the same extremists who had nothing to do with Mr Petersons teaching program anyway.
Evolutionary biology is a legit form of science IMO…
And since being booted out of academia…. their double act podcasts work way better for me than Radio BBC Bore…they also help with the alternate to BUILD BACK BETTER wordview

Study of Evolution = Science agreed
Study of Biology = Science agreed
Evolutionary Biology should be Science agreed.
But what the talk about and the terminology they use is psychobabble in which the participants chase other around in ever irrelevant circles just trying to win arguments that nobody else cares about until the last two are stuck in a hole of their own making snarling and spitting as the world moves by.
Getting booted out of what remains of academia may well be the saving of this couple if it brings them back to reality so I’ll watch that video on your recommendation

So far as I am aware the only area of law where a even Special Constables’ (whatever they are called now) word is worth more than yours or mine is ‘Prevention of Smoking in a Indoor Working Space’
“I observed the defendant lurking in a suspicious manner in the customer toilet area. At this point I noticed smoke rising up the outside of his jacket as ash drizzled onto the parquet flooring.

“Wasn’t me y’onour Sir I give up ten years ago”

Surely no badge is necessary? The kids with the mask exemptions will be the ones…uh…like…not wearing masks…?
Exactly. This is totally illegal and contravening the Equalities act 2010 in all aspects.
Why the parents put up with it in the first place is beyond me.
The purpose is to let everyone know which maskless brats to persecute explicitly and which to persecute implicitly.
How many teachers are there in that school I wonder? 50? 60? And not one of them has even a basic grasp of modern day history? And they are charging kids over 30k a year to be educated by these morons? What. The. Fuck.
Priceless.!! No sense of irony..You can can bet your bottom dollar the Head is of the Woke persuasion…
Start getting really concerned if they’re offered a train ride home.
Or a quick shower.

It is against the law to ask people to do this.
‘Kent’ makes it sound as though it’s in deepest Garden of England territory. It’s not: it’s in Chislehurst, which comes under the London Borough of Bromley.
The three councillors for Chislehurst are Tory. One of them, a bloke called Keiran Terry, has some grand council titles, including: Executive Assistant to the Children, Education and Families Portfolio Holder and Vice-Chairman, Environment and Community Services.

Croydon is already bankrupt…
I wonder how many dodgy local politicians have used taxpayer’s money to bail out “mates” deeply in the hole on commercial property ?
It’s a private school. The local council won’t have anything to do with it.
However, the council does have responsiblity for safeguarding of all children, and for promoting the welfare of all children in its area, regardless of what school they attend (and even if they don’t attend school).
Trouble is that private schools aren’t required to report data to the local authorities, so although the council is technically responsble, they won’t have the data to act.
And that’s assuming the social workers take action.
If you fancy some entertainment ask how many outstanding ‘missing from school’ reports the council is currently sat on.
Well, anyone reading this could send a link to Cllr Terry. Kieran.Terry@bromley.gov.uk
He can’t claim to not know about it then, could he? It’s both in his ward, and would appear to come within his remit judging by his various titles.
So they will have their work cut out Safeguarding all the kids roaming the streets with their teachers permission.
Well, yes, frankly. That’s what our taxes pay them to do. I don’t envy them their job, but that’s the job they undertook.
I get that this is all too difficult for some people. But the fact remains – whether you like it or agree with it, or not – the local authority is ultimately responsible for the welfare and safeguarding of all children in its area.
What will fee paying parents have to say about it. Expect demands for reparations as these closures are not mandated by government or even recommended.
If it is a charity, they might regret this decision.
Councillors do like a bit of self aggrandisement.
Apparently they looked at the government’s mask exemption graphics, which you can download if you want to- though the website is very clear that you don’t have to show anyone anything. You’ve probably seen it: it’s blue, it says I am exempt from wearing a face covering, and it’s got a little yellow circle in the bottom corner. That’s got a stick figure of a person with double ended arrows on either side to signify giving additional space. (My exemption card, which I wear to avoid grief at work where they have brought back masks with a vengeance, actually says please give me more space on the other side but I keep that side hidden because I don’t care).
So the school looked at this blue card, and ignored the blue, and the text, and zero’d in on the yellow circle, which is a social distancing thing, not a face covering thing, and are making the kids wear that.
It just goes to show that the headmaster of a private school, charging an arm and a leg in fees, is as crass and uneducated as anyone else. He is unfit for the job, or any job in teaching, as ignorant as he is about history and even matters like anti-semitism.
To be fair, it would be the school bursar who is the ignorant old ex military duffer who probably came up with this illegal nonsense.
The bursar is the financial director. The headmaster (managing director, often also heavily involved in marketing) takes the decision. I have no idea who told him to, or who suggested it. It won’t be the LEA, since Farringtons is a private school. (Oops, sorry, a “public charity” committed to spreading Methodist ethics.)
The bursar is Mrs Sally-Anne Eldridge. Is that who you mean? She’s not mentioned in the Torygraph piece.
Verily. Years ago, a large private school in Essex was a client, and the practice there was to have ex-Army Pay Corps officers, with seniority of rank strictly observed, in the bursar and administration roles. I spent many happy hours going through their accounts to find out how they’d managed to make single-sided entries in a computerised system. Good job there was a decent pub or two in the village just outside the gates.
The pupils will have jolly great fun role playing during nazi Germany history lessons. Although that is unlikely to be a curriculum subject.
They could go on a train ride and visit a medical camp
It’s inconceivable the headmaster or the staff would be unaware of the yellow badge connotation. Then again, given modern (broke) woke education. Perhaps a rainbow armband instead?
I truly hope this outrageous decision highlights to a greater audience, especially those on the fence, to what is actually going on.
Ex headmaster by the end of today then?
Not likely when he’s this bloody woke. He’ll be up for an MBE next.
I must have missed it in the original school message, but do the children have to wear masks when they go outside every afternoon for the compulsory book burning?
Just ‘a conspiracy theory’ I’m sure…
Never forget: the German holocaust (defined as mass murder of captives) started with those who were classified by medics as physically or medically disabled. Let’s be clear: the medics murdered thousands of their patients, and then after they achieved high success rates the SS then came for the Jews, Gypsies, gays, etc. some time later. In 2021 what symbol resisters wear when we choose to wear one (not when we are forced to) is a tactical matter only. Referencing the German camps, and German badges-on-clothes policy generally, seems the obvious thing to do. It should not be done lightly, but it isn’t being done lightly, so that’s not a problem. In other news: the general strike in Martinique is showing the way forward. The strike is against the compulsory vaccination of health workers for free testing for infection with a pesticide used in banana plantations, chlordecone, a toxin that has caused high rates of prostate cancer and premature births against high fuel prices People in Guadeloupe aren’t far behind. The people of Martinique sound very sussed about the pharma-state, and they are doing something about it. They put the people of Britain to shame. But it isn’t too late. I… Read more »

I think it’s highly appropriate.

House! First anti-Semitic scumbag comment
I can’t see any reason for a badge when the kid will not be wearing a face covering. It should be voluntary and not encouraged anyway. Pandemic’s over. Let it go.
Did the “pandemic” ever start?
Dunno. But it may never end.
Once they changed the definition they can have several every year.
.
We are approaching ‘who will rid me of th(ese)is turbulent priest(s)’ advocating useless vaccines and unscientific NPIs and poisonous ‘standards of care’ (Remdesivir a.k.a. “RUN” death is near).
At some point we the people will recognise what has been done to them and demand accountability.
Are these kids being taught biology by someone who thinks a piece of cloth protects against a virus? Do their history teachers not understand the implications of the divisive badging?
Parents paying the school’s rather high fees are not getting good value for money.
It’s doublethink in action. I am sure that the biology teachers are very good at biology, and the history teachers very good at history. What they are not good at is applying their knowledge to real world situations especially in cases where their knowledge is telling them that they are right and the majority/accepted narrative wrong. Lack of courage to go against the herd. You could argue that their intelligence is functionally useless if they are unable to apply it when it matters.
Their children don’t need to be educated – you just pay the fees and the school will find them a good career, or Mummy and Daddy will have the connections. It’s just expensive child care, where the parents hope they don’t come away with a drug habit or a criminal record.
This is so horrible in so many aspects I cannot even formulate a response. The parents fail to see a problem as well?
