Of all the afflictions ravaging modern Britain, there is none more tragic than those that harm our children. Today, we report on a particularly horrifying case, that of Chloe Fisher, 15, who was assaulted at school with a pair of scissors. She was left with a gaping wound after the attack in the classroom and also suffered cuts to her hands, arms, nose and ear.
The assault took place in Wordsley School in Stourbridge, West Midlands. The offender, a 16-year-old boy, has been arrested. As Chloe explained: “He had come in the classroom, stood there for one or two seconds. He went to the front, got a pair of scissors and said: ‘There you are’. He started attacking me with the scissors”.
“I didn’t feel anything – I just went completely numb. I was in shock and had my eyes closed; I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t realise I was bleeding. They were dragging him out, and then I saw the blood,” she added.
The boy in question remains unnamed, with no other details released other than his age, so you’ll have to draw your conclusions about his profile and motivations for this appalling assault.
After being rushed to Russell’s Hall Hospital in Dudley by her father, a CT scan revealed that the blade had narrowly missed her skull. The astute among you may wonder why it fell to Chloe’s father to take her to A&E, not the emergency services. He can enlighten us: “Upon arrival, my partner found Chloe surrounded by six teachers, but there was no police presence or paramedics at that time.
“Their response was that they presumed somebody had already called us. They also said that they also wanted to establish the truth before notifying the police. Two police officers did eventually arrive,” he explained.
Chloe’s mum, Emma, added: “We are utterly shocked and distraught that this has happened to our daughter. What makes this situation worse however, is the fact that it was not the school who contacted us to inform us of this horrific incident, it was our daughter. She called her dad, screaming and crying down the phone.”
That the school’s main priority in the immediate aftermath was to undertake a fact-finding mission instead of calling for an ambulance is mind-boggling. The graphic photos of Chloe’s wounds seem to suggest that the staff hadn’t even administered first aid to her. Is this down to gross ineptitude, or were they too busy trying to sweep certain details of the assault under the carpet? Either way, “establishing the truth” in a criminal matter is the concern of the police, not the teachers, and they failed in their most paramount duty – to protect the wellbeing of their students.
The temptation in these tragic events is always to attribute blame, but there are several underlying issues at play here, which make things somewhat murky. Yes, the school staff utterly failed Chloe, which should be investigated.
However, when our teachers have their hands tied by deeply ingrained, spineless disciplinary policies, courtesy of liberals perpetually meddling in the education system, we shouldn’t be surprised when said teachers are ill-equipped to command respect and instil a fear of authority. When these prerequisites are absent, discipline will deteriorate, and anarchy will eventually take its place, to the point where students will brazenly assault other students in full view of their teachers.
These same progressive, liberal policies have wreaked havoc in all our institutions, and there’s no better place to illustrate this than our criminal justice system.
Like teachers, our police officers have been rendered impotent thanks to a fear of offending. If the police apprehend young delinquents – and let’s be honest, some are less likely than others to be arrested when protected characteristics apply – they know that they will only face the most lenient of punishments, if any at all. The outcome is the same: youths terrorise whoever they please with no fear of pushback or consequences.
We can also look at the breakdown of the family unit, which deserves its own article. Essentially, broken homes and families often struggle to be a breeding ground for well-regulated adolescents, especially when fathers are absent. Again, one could produce a list a mile-high of all the nefarious liberal interventions which have fractured British families and left a generation growing up with little in the way of disciplinary guidance.
So, what needs to change? As nationalists, the number one priority of the Homeland Party is to protect our people. This means strict punitive measures whenever cases like Chloe’s arise. We would also abolish the notion of protected characteristics in the eyes of the law, creating a fair justice system that doesn’t encourage certain groups to act as though they are above the law.
We would revise educational disciplinary policies and procedures, giving our teachers power, respect and confidence back. They would no longer have to sacrifice discipline to evade offence, and students would no longer have to fear for their safety when receiving their education.
