It was the first day back at school in Birmingham, England.
The teacher began calling out the names of the pupils.
"Mustafa al Eih Zeri?" - "Here."
"Achmed El Kabul?" - "Here."
"Fatima Bin Pardin? " - "Here."
"Ali Abdul Olmi?" - "Here."
"Mohammed Bin Kadir?" - "Here."
"Ali Son al En?" - Silence in the classroom.
"Ali Son al En?"- Continued silence, as everyone
Looked around the room .
The teacher repeated the call, "Ali Son al En?"
Then a girl stood up and said,
"Sorry, teacher, I think that's me.
It's pronounced Allison Allen."
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What do you expect from free education paid for by your tax dollars and managed by our government?

Hmmm, I bet among those you don't wish to have an education because they poor is more than one with an IQ of 180 that could very well find the cure to a disease you could have in the future. One is born into a set of circumstances and there but for an accident of birth you could have been. It's always best to mentally and emotionally walk in someone else's shoes before you judge them as unfit.

I'm not being judgmental, just stating the facts. I was raised by a poor dirt farmer in the south, it was a struggle and yes I would have loved to walk in their shoes because I didn't have any of my own!
NO EXCUSES!!!

Two thoughts. 1) Your inability to communicate in English is due to the laziness of your culture as evidenced by your writing. I'll bet the English classes you attended taught you to write "because they are poor" or "because they're poor" but you chose to write "because they poor". Your failure to communicate weakens your argument. 2) The birth of a child is considered an "accident" in your culture because the baby momma is indiscriminate about who she sleeps with and the baby daddy fails to stick around to raise the child in a two parent household.
Oh, and you should save the "racist card", my comments are fact based not emotional in nature.

I'm curious... how do you know what "culture" they're from? Do you know them personally? Even know what they look like?
Have you never made a typo before? (ie left out a word in haste or because you were tired, etc)
Are you really so perfect you've never ever made a mistake?
