A teacher allegedly ordered a 10-year-old boy to take off his Help for Heroes wristband because it could cause offence.

Tracy Tew was shocked when her son Charlie was put on a report card at Maldon Primary School in Essex after he refused to take off the charity rubber bracelet sold to honour injured soldiers.

Charlie wears the wristband - bought at the Colchester Military Festival - in honour of murdered solider Lee Rigby and service personnel in his family, including his great-granddad and uncle.

There is functionally no difference between a rubber wrist band and a wrist watch. In fact, a watch is more dangerous because it wouldn't stretch if caught on a fixed object. The "safety" argument is pure liberal BS.

i didn't make the rules... and i didn't sign up for them by sending my child there... as a matter of fact, i would never send my children to any government school...

If it was a “I had gay sex” wristband he would be a national media star by now
