10-Year-Old Muslim Boy Investigated After He Spelled "Terrorist House" Instead Of "Terraced House"


Story out of Lancashire, England:

A 10-year-old Muslim boy who mistakenly wrote that he lived in a "terrorist house" during an English lesson at school has been investigated by police.

The pupil, who attends a primary school in Lancashire, meant to say he lived in a "terraced house".

The boy was interviewed by Lancashire Police at his home the next day and the family laptop was examined.

The 2015 Counter Terrorism and Security Act places a statutory duty on schools and colleges to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.

Critics argue teachers are overreacting for fear of breaking the law, rather than using their common sense. Cont.
