Jessica Shepperd, Education Correspondent for the Guardian, has an article bewailing - it seems - the fact that there are very few black headteachers in England. It should be recalled that under the Equality Act discrimination because of sex, or disability, or ethnicity, or pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic unlawful. The underlying theme behind this article is that there is discrimination, although this is not actually stated.
Theresa May, Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equality has pressed ahead with implementing Harriet Harman's Act and is quoted in the Mail:
"In these challenging economic times it’s more important than ever for employers to make the most of all the talent available. When a company reflects the society it serves, it’s better for the employer, the employees and the customers."
The Act specifically states that public sector employers must promote equal opportunities and the last sentence of Theresa May's remark, quoted above, must also apply to the public sector. If that is so, then we can expect similar cries of outrage from Poles, Asians and every other ethnicity that is now present in our country.
Has it crossed anyone's mind that those who complain about their lack of representation at senior level in any organisation might just not be good enough for the positions to which they aspire? But hey, when did that stop the politicos and their social engineering programmes?

Does it ever cross their racist, white, socialist minds that there are no more black heads because they are not good enough?
Sorry, I'm saying what you are saying. Must be my tourettes kicking in.
If people are promoted on merit what difference does it make as long as they are a breathing human being?
Trouble is these days the morons who are tasked with identifying merit have become tick box drones courtesy of the religion of grand socialism aka the EU, bastards.
These days it is the scum not the cream that floats to the top>

Speaking of esoterica in multicultural nirvana has anyone found a shop selling halal pork ?

but I do think Trevor Phillips could have been a head Teacher rather than ITV "Friend of Mandy"
If this is a representative of what we get when black headteachers are commonplace, I reckon we ought to stick with the pink, brown, yellow and multi-coloured ones we have now!
