For a millions and one reasons, no kid of a sane parent should be in a public school, from mass suicide, Islamic recruitment, drug fueled HIV fests, and of course left wing anti-Christian indoctrination.
Unfortunately, Britain makes homeschooling very difficult as I understand it. Strangely though I just read an article that Russia is practically Europe’s homeschooling nirvana. The state actually pays you to homeschool!
woman who have red hair on head have red hair by crackie.confusios, i think.
There are literally a million reasons to homeschool ANY child.
There are redheaded Sicilians due to early Norman invasions of Sicily, according to what I read. There were a few redheaded kids of Sicilian descent in my neighborhood when I was growing up.
From what I have seen, and I have visited, Britain makes America’s bullying look like a cub scout meeting a grover’s corner. It is a miserable place to be a child.
Not sure who has it worse. The lone 3 white kids at most London schools who are spat upon and maliciously taunted.
Or the kids on the streets of Bucharest who spend their days huffing paint from foil bags.

LOL!
We have a Hispanic female neighbor who’s in her seventies.....she dies her hair red to a point that would embarrass Lucille Ball.
“All redheads weren’t from the British Isles-none of my ancestors came from Scotland or anywhere else even close-they’re mostly Spanish,..”
One Irish legend claims they came from Spain, to Ireland.
There is a province in Spain, called Galicia and they play bagpipes there.

Ghengis Khan supposedly had red hair and green eyes.
It is a silly claim. My father was a red head, as were two of his four sisters and their mother. They were never bullied and in fact were rather popular.
King David may have been a redhead. Bible described him as having a ruddy complexion.
I’m a natural redhead of Norman/Scot ancestry traced back to King David, and I wasn’t bullied much in school. Of course, back then I had quite a temper and didn’t take much crap. I was pretty scrappy and even the boys knew when to quit. :-)
I have mellowed quite a bit.
Rufio is a main character in a favorite book of mine about Rome-red hair, and he isn’t from Scotland.
Red is very popular among elderly Latin American women...in Spain, blond is more popular, for some reason. Of course, blond is popular among elderly women of any ethnic background in Florida. Red is popular among Russians and Latin Americans, but blond is holding its own.
My ancestors weren’t from Galicia-they were Basques from the Pyrenees, with a few from Granada-part of the old Al-Andalus-which explains in large part why there are uncles, aunts and cousins with black curly hair, dark brown eyes and olive skin among those of us who are a bit lighter, with red or brown hair, green/gray or hazel eyes. My family surname is an old Basque one. Basques were not Celts, supposedly, because their language was entirely different in antiquity from the Celts’ but after Rome got there, who really knows?
There is a rather good portrait of my maternal grandfather hanging on the wall at an aunt’s house, done by an artist friend when he was probably 45 or so-it shows that curly black hair, olive skin and almost-black eyes-looks like one of the old portraits of Spanish Moors.
Mine happens to be real, but it is dark red-not carrot or ginger. My first husband and I had friends and relatives who worked for American companies with offices in Mexico for a couple years at a time-cheap vacation-and we used to visit them. The orange shades were very popular in the cities-it was almost blinding-Clairol and henna dyes had to have been the best sellers at the drug store...
If this really goes on in GB, there is something seriously amiss there...

I guess the recent season of “24”, which featured a red headed Englishwoman islamoterrorist, was partially inspired by this phenomenon.
