It is important that we try to prevent racism or any other prejudice. But having school kids arrested seems to be going a bit too far. Putting aside the fact that the chant they used was a friendly one used by Tottenham Hotspur fans, should the police have been approached. I haven't heard the chant so I don't know how bad it was. And things said in jest can still be insulting so it is quite possible that what was said was inappropriate. But calling in the police seems excessive. The teacher should have gone to the headmaster and asked for the children to be reprimanded if their comments were really that bad.
