I’ve come to believe, reading news like this so often these days, that school administrators are the dumbest people in the world:
Excited by stories of the Second World War during school classes, Steven Cheek did what generations of young boys have done before him.
Making an imaginary gun with his fingers, the nine-year-old pointed it at a classmate and said: ‘We’ve got to shoot the German army.’
Moments later he found himself in front of the deputy head, who accused him of racism because his ‘victim’ had been a Polish boy.
