Black Slave Auction.

A group of school pupils allegedly chained a black student to a lamppost and whipped him in a "mock slave auction".
Police are investigating the allegation, which happened at a school in Bath, and said it was taking it "extremely seriously".

I've never been to Bath, but i imagine it to be a nice place. Not the sort of place you'd find things like that happening in 2018.

Re: Black Slave Auction.

I was there only yesterday!
My son and his family live there...I dont recall ever having seen a black face there, though Im sure there must be some!
However, I'd say that its predominantly white middle class.

Sickening isn't it. Makes me sad to read.

Re: Black Slave Auction.

I am shocked, to put it mildly. We used to live in Bath between 1971-76, two of our children were born there. It doesn't say which school was involved. I certainly hope it wasn't the one where my husband was a teacher and house master.

Re: Black Slave Auction.

My daughter-in-law jn- law is determined to find out which school so her son doesnt go there!!
Mind you it's a few years yet, he's not yet 5 !!

They say theres inadequate lunchtime supervision...

Re: Black Slave Auction.

I suspect it was one of the state schools then.

Re: Black Slave Auction.

Anyone know how much they got for him?

Re: Black Slave Auction.

Bound to be!!!!!! Only the unwashed herd......

Re: Black Slave Auction.

I certainly hope the Independent School my husband was working at would not tolerate that sort of disgusting behaviour, anymore than my husband would have tolerated it when he was a head teacher of a state secondary school.

Re: Black Slave Auction.

Nobody is tolerating it are they. Forgive me if I am mistaken but didn't those employed at the school confirm in the news report that this behaviour was being taken very seriously? I would expect no less from any employee of any school.
