Teachers Use Sign Language to Students at School with 26 Different Languages

A school in Brighton, East Sussex, has become the latest example of just how far into insanity the multicultural experiment has fallen and a stark reminder of how the liberal establishment are betraying the indigenous children of these isles.

Teachers at Fairlight Primary School in Brighton have been forced to use a form of sign language with students due to there being so many nationalities in their classroom.

Of the 311 children at the school, 55 are from overseas, coming from 24 different countries. These foreign schoolchildren speak 26 different languages between them, ranging from Spanish to Polish to Arabic and Mandarin Chinese.

The schools head teacher, Damien Jordan, realised that his teachers couldn’t hope to communicate with the students effectively with so many different languages being spoken. So he and teachers decided to use Makaton, a form of sign language that involves speech and facial expression as well as gestures, in the classroom.

Mr. Jordan praised the new form of teaching in British classrooms:

“It means that at times when children might get frustrated that they can’t make themselves understood, you can still communicate with them.

“It’s early days but everyone is involved and it is something that we are genuinely proud of doing.

Mr. Jordan was also proud of the multicultural nature of his school, Fairlight Primary being the most diverse in the area, and his foreign pupils were mainly children of international students or academics who work at the local universities:

“I think the reason why we attract so many children from different backgrounds is because parents have got to hear about our reputation for doing things well.

“Also, we are situated near both universities in Brighton and the city is a very diverse place anyway.”

He also praised the existing language skills of his foreign students:

“Some of them already speak two or three languages before they come to school, which is remarkable.”

Not as remarkable as not being able to speak the language of the country you are being educated in perhaps? And not a peep from Mr. Jordan concerning the detrimental effect on the indigenous pupils whose education seems to be taking a back seat whilst Mr. Jordon and his teachers are busy doing Marcel Marceau impressions to their foreign pupils.

“Education, Education, Education” anyone?

Righteous anger & political action:

The British National Party believes in telling the truth, even if it is sometimes uncomfortable to hear or offensive to those who would rather bury their heads in the sand than face real problems in our society. But while we often pass quite critical comment on the impact of immigration, multi-culturalism and alien religions on the indigenous people of our lands, we have no animosity towards immigrants, their descendants or the followers of non-native religions. Nor do we intend to encourage others to feel such animosity, or believe that anything we have to say is likely to 'stir up hatred' against anyone.

In fact, we believe that by providing a peaceful and Constitutional outlet for the anger and the frustration felt by millions of our people over the undemocratic transformation of our country by our political masters, the BNP actually defuses tensions. Where there is 'hate' we seek to turn it into righteous anger and political action against the only people who deserve to be hated - the politicians who use our taxes to turn our country into a place where we often feel like strangers in our own land.

Fairlight Primary School Anti-Racist Policy:

“Our school is opposed to any form of
racism or racist behaviour.
Throughout history, people of different nationalities and races have inhabited this country and this will continue - manufactured history - Ed

Our school serves a community, which has a diverse cultural make-up and the school population is a reflection of this.

We believe everyone is due equal respect from us and from each other regardless of race or religion. We expect people from each ethnic group to have respect for other groups and for each individual and to be proud of her or his own culture.

In school children will learn

that racism is wrong and it is based on false ideas.
about the history of different races and cultures in our country and around
the world.
the benefits of a multicultural society. - like what? - Ed
the learning resources of the school will reflect the mix of cultures found in our classes; they will be as accurate as possible and will avoid any stereotyping or generalisations.
racist insults are not comparable to personal insults and there is no equivalent ‘white insult’.
Naturally any incidents of racism will be dealt with at school and parents will naturally be informed. Legally all incidents are logged and the numbers reported to the Local Authority and any serious incident or repeated incidents are reported in detail and sent to the racial harassment unit.

Please support our school and community by challenging racism”.

I went out with this Spanish lass once. I don’t speak any Spanish and she spoke very little English. We communicated through the language of lurve. I wonder if our teachers are going to explain their sex education lessons to 5 year olds through a similar medium? How are they going to convey being gay through sign language? Cue list of jokes…

I would like to give the head teacher some sign language of my own often used by Winnie but mine would be the other way round.

4. baz on October 2nd, 2008 12:11 pm

When I was at school, it was us that used sign language, usually behind the teacher’s back. We didn’t want six of the best. In my class there was one Indian boy. Very dark skinned. Everyone liked him. He played soccer and cricket to a high standard. And fitted in. This was back in the late 50s. We were so lucky in that now because of the sheer numbers that one Indian would be looked on with suspicion if not worse. So whilst these teachers are playing charades with the rainbow coalition, what’s happening to the other kids, you know the ones that speak the lingo and need to be educated. That’s the real racism in this country, promoted by a Racist Fascist Labour poor excuse for a government.

I have an interest in tracing my Yorkshire family history and have traced various branches of my Father’s lineage back to the middle 18th Century. In all the years of looking at records I cannot recall seeing any names from people from China, modern day Pakistan or Bengal; nor even people from Poland recorded as living in the hamlets, villages or towns of North Yorkshire from the 1740s.

Why do I mention this in yet another item about our appalling yellow livered lunacy where the education of our children is concerned?

Well guess what? The North Yorks Records office is busily and expensively making all it’s online records available in the above languages!
Just how many people from China or India were walking the lanes, attending the churches, working in the fields that my Grandparents were?
More to the point who on earth is going to use these expensively translated texts?
Clearly North Yorks Council has employed a number of foreign staff under some equality nonsense, and had had to find them something to do. Follow the link and go to Contact Us and Record Office Holdings

But seriously; how are these children going to fare in the real world where people largely, speak English, German and French rather than Makaton?

In my opinion, the Fairlight Primary School is holding back the ‘normal’ cognitive functionality and communicative ability known to have a ravenous and eager appetite to learn ‘spoken language skills’ during the stages of early child development.

I think these kids need placing on the ‘at risk’ register with social services immediately. I also think that these children are going to grow up dysfunctional if
their natural ability to learn ‘spoken language skills’ remain suppressed in this way.

If I were a parent with children attending the Fairlight Primary School I’d be very concerned about this and call a parents meeting without further delay.

Any of you who regularly read the comments section will know that I teach privately. Physics and maths on a one-to-one basis and sometimes I help people gain their amateur radio licences. Here is the nub of my comment. I am a fully licensed radio amateur, on a daily basis I speak to people all over Britain and the world just for fun. You name a country and Ive probably spoken to someone from there over the years. I thoroughly enjoy it. Good international relations and cultvated friendships are vital in the modern world, but this is my point, THEY ALL SPEAK ENGLISH TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD.

You cannot gain an international amateur radio licence unless you speak English, this is international law. English is the international language of radio communication as well as the international language of commerce. If you are required to speak English in order to take part in the hobby of amateur radio, surely its not too much to ask that anyone living in this country has at least a grasp of the fundamentals of the language.

The headmaster of this school claims that the children are mainly the offsprig of intellectuals teaching in our universities. If this were true then I suspect the children would already speak English as Im guessing it is a basic requirment of universiity lecturers (their parents) to speak English to a very high standard.

I feel pity for these teachers, they can’t honestly believe that this Babylon we are having imposed on us by the LibLabCon trinity, is good for Britain. I’ll wager a good British pound to a ha’penneth of pig poo that given the luxury of anonimity, these teachers would tell a very different story. But, they have to earn a wage, to do this they must tow the PC line or face dismissal.

Teaching is a difficult job at the best of times but when good British teachers are being crushed by the PC nonsense they are ‘forced’ to promote its no wonder they are leaving the profession in droves. I did, and now I can speak my mind.

Vote BNP, please, its the only way to halt the dilution of our culture and identity.
God save the Queen.

“racist insults are not comparable to personal insults and there is no equivalent ‘white insult’.

So whites are always the perpetrators of racism, but never the victims.

What effect on standards dose having 26 languages in a school have, where a typically British head master that stoically resorts to sign language in his attempts to communicate with Foreign Nationals places in a main stream schools for English children ?

It dose not take a degree in Education to know the answer. The teaching to the English pupils is going to suffer greatly!

12. Aetion on October 2nd, 2008 1:40 pm

Just the basis needed for the students to eventually progress to the study of Shakespeare, Dickens and Shaw and assimilate some of our great British cultural heritage! They’ll probably be lucky if they will be able to get through page 3 of “The Sun” when they finish school as a young adult as a result of this … a tragedy for all the native British kids unlucky enough to have to attend the school.

Dwellers in sleepy,leafy, country hamlets please note:
The “enrichment” process has now made its way down to Brighton, East Sussex, and will be coming soon to a town near you. Please book your tickets to the Outer Hebrides early in order to avoid the rush.

14. Stringbag on October 2nd, 2008 2:12 pm

Aetion - “Just the basis needed for the students to eventually progress to the study of Shakespeare, Dickens and Shaw and assimilate some of our great British cultural heritage! ”

The “British” Pakistani pundit Safraz Manzoor, whinging in the Guardian yesterday, came out with the following:

“It is all very well rhapsodising about Shakespeare, Tom Paine or Constable, but what does that say to someone whose family has arrived more recently? It is something that I have often felt: I can admire many British writers, inventors, explorers and so on, but I find it hard to feel I am more than a spectator to the story.”

Well, it’s not his history, it’s not his art, it’s not his literature, and not his country.

15. Shaftmonde on October 2nd, 2008 2:16 pm

It’s a school - why not teach them English?
Or isn’t there enough time for the three R’s in their busy timetable after all the cultural diversity?

16. sad4theuk on October 2nd, 2008 2:29 pm

And so things get more and more ridiculous. I live a few miles outside of Brighton and ‘enrichment’ is increasing here at an alarming speed. The answer to all of this is of course a BNP government as our ‘enrichers’ will be enriching their own countries and there will be no schools with 26 different languages being spoken and our own children being held back because of it. I will be voting, and encouraging everyone I know to vote BNP at every opportunity there is because it is the only way this crass stupidity will be stopped.

As far as I’m concerned it says,
“If you don’t like it you’ll either have to lump it or clear off to some place where it won’t affect you!”

19. THELMA H on October 2nd, 2008 3:35 pm

Does Damien Jordan have a brain? Is this now the situation in our schools where the head teacher thinks that mime language is the way forward? All I can say at this point is God help us! Our children have no chance whatsoever with morons like this in charge of our schools! Please BNP, lets get this ball rolling before we get anymore morons like this with their ‘bright’ ideas!!

21. Angryman on October 2nd, 2008 4:52 pm

I thought that the Web Team were having a joke, trying to wind us up until I found the story in a national newspaper. This is sheer insanity. I thought that one of the jobs of schools was to teach the English Language. Are the parents aware of what is going on? As ‘Colin Brown’ has mentioned above, these children should be put on the ‘At Risk Register’. This is child neglect, not teaching them the language of the country that they are being educated in. More to the point, the education of indigenous pupils and any English speaking ethnic pupils must be suffering immense damage while the teachers are pandering to the minority by playing charades.

How is it that if the parents are so called intellectuals teaching at universities, that they haven’t even managed to teach their own children English in readiness for their education? It doesn’t bode well for the students being taught by these people. All part of the dumbing down of our people I suppose. Third world standards for a soon to be, third world nation.

This madness has to stop, I implore anyone reading this to vote BNP, the ONLY party that has the will to stop it.

”Mr. Jordan was also proud of the multicultural nature of his school, Fairlight Primary being the most diverse in the area, and his foreign pupils were mainly children of international students or academics who work at the local universities”:

A responsible teacher would be proud of taking a young mind and helping to steer it from adolescence into adulthood, only a pandering Marxist moron with a twisted sense of right and wrong would take pleasure in something as vague and nebulous as brainwashing children into the wonders of the Marxists’ so-called ‘diversity’. But the oft-stated aim of Marxists and their fellow travellers to infiltrate Western institutions has been spectacularly successful for decades now, and with NUTs like Mr. Damien Jordan in charge, our indigenous British children suffer from learning problems and lack of national identity to name only a few problems created by these neo-Marxist nation-wreckers. Only the most totalitarian of societies and its dumbed-down neo-Marxist acolytes with brains akin to sewers would brainwash indigenous British children and deny them their heritage in the perverse manner of Fairlight Primary School, highlighted by Collin Brown above.

Why are the lib/lab/con allowing our children to be brainwashed with political correctness/Cultural Marxism in the manner of totalitarian states, e.g. the child-abusing short-lived Communist government of 1920’s Hungary led by Bela Kun (Cohen), North Korea and other tyrannical Marxist regimes? No mention of this outrage at any of the lib/lab/con party conferences.

We do not need Brown or Camoron or another of the lib/lb/con to give us ‘more of the same’ policies that have left our country a shattered wreck. We need to vote and support the nationalist BNP and allow them to accomplish a root and branch reform on the United Kingdom, a country laid to waste by decades of lib/lab/con mismanagement and treachery.

Legendary mime artist Marcel Marceau seems to be in agreement too: STOP! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. TIME FOR THE BNP.

24. NukeLabour on October 2nd, 2008 5:43 pm

And people wonder why kids today can’t read, do basic maths and are obese!
When I first saw this, I thought it was a windup, but no, it’s yet another stupid, pointless stunt which wastes money, time & effort. The head teacher and the idiots who put this idea into practice should be sacked.

25. englishpride on October 2nd, 2008 5:54 pm

I agree with sad4theuk:

I live just a few miles from Brighton and our small town seems as if it has been deliberately targeted. In just two years it seems as if we have been considered “hideously white” and large numbers of new faces of differing countries are waltzing about in twos and threes at all hours of the day-I am retired so I see it-and I might add, still paying double tax on my £7,500 pension, thanks to Gordon Brown.
None looks to be working, although of working age.

The small numbers of council homes are largely housing our own, as it should be. I can only assume the large number of PRIVATE homes for rent are being used (homes which we would not be entitled to should we need them) and rents in this area are around £900 to 1000 per month for a three bedroom house! Wasn’t the South East once considered to be short of homes for WORKERS?

And by the way, the term racist as far as I am concerned, has lost its ability to shock, as more and more of us realise we have been conned into keeping quiet so as to allow this mass immigration to take place.

26. Noel on October 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm

Comrade Jordan says of Brighton: “…the city is a very diverse place anyway”.

What he should have said is: “…the city is a very DIVIDED place anyway”.

He could have added: “United we may stand, but divided we shall fall - straight into the genocidal embrace of the New World Order”.

He’d like that wouldn’t he? - until he discovered that he was deemed to be a useful idiot who was of no further use to the regime, when two armed men in black uniforms came to take him away to the nearest “termination facility”.

I repeat what I have said before; I want to see every ‘EVIL ONE’ like Jordan wearing an orange boiler-suit, with “TRAITOR” stencilled on the back, digging trenches and laying sewer pipes, by hand, with a pick and shovel and a tripod-mounted block-and-tackle - no machinery.

What a supreme irony it is, that while these traitors would be required to do useful work for the first time in their contemptible lives, they would have a far better chance of survival under a BNP government than they would under the regime which they are presently so determined to impose upon us all.

27. whiskydelta on October 2nd, 2008 7:14 pm

To be quite honest about Mr Jordan and his staff at Fairlight Primary school, they are just another bunch of sycophants that bow down to the PC brigade, and in doing so are neglecting indigenous children’s welfare along the way! I realise in as much as the times we are living in at present, jobs are hard to come by, but I’d sooner have no job standing up than have one crawling out of my pride!

28. tempest on October 2nd, 2008 8:16 pm

I felt sufficiently angry about a similar situation to the Brighton fiasco to take my son out of primary school in Southall and move to a rural area; this cost us our place on the property ladder. However, every cloud has a silver lining: he is now a Doctor, and I don’t have negative equity in a house surrounded by enrichers!. Join the BNP FAMILY for our grandchildren’s survival.

29. bulldogbob on October 2nd, 2008 8:37 pm

They say that some children leaving the primary schools and going on to the next level of education do not have the basic skills, i.e. reading, writing and maths. Reading of this utter lunacy that is happening due to unchecked immigration, we are not going to turn out many scientists and engineers, but I suppose that we will have some budding Marcel Marceaus for the future. Brings a whole new meaning to the Nulabour war cry, “Education, Education, Education”, does it not?

30. Tommy on October 3rd, 2008 12:41 am

There’s one language, its English. Use it. (Unless you’re in Wales of course).

All these non speaking English hold English kids back as they cannot progress at the required pace. No wonder they have to lower academic standards.

It was bad enough at University with the sell out to foreign students who couldn’t talk or write properly… It must be a real issue for kids in enriched areas.

This is where all the so called foreign invaders really cost the state and more importantly the British kids dearly.
