SCHOOLGIRL, 12, REPRIMANDED FOR WEARING A BRITISH-THEMED DRESS
A 12-YEAR-OLD Midland girl was left devastated after being put into isolation for wearing a Union Flag dress to celebrate being British at her school’s culture day.
‘Straight A’ student Courtney Wright wore the Spice Girls-esque dress and wrote a speech about history and traditions as part of the celebrations on Friday, July 11.
But the Year 7 pupil was left shocked after being told the dress was “unacceptable” and she was hauled out of lessons and made to sit in reception until her father collected her.
Dad Stuart Field, 47, said he was gobsmacked to learn she had been segregated from her peers due to her choice of attire at Bilton School in Rugby, Warwickshire.
Stuart, who works in marine restoration, said: “Courtney was so embarrassed and couldn't understand what she'd done wrong.
“She should not be made to feel embarrassed about being British.
