United Kingdom, Specifically: England

In a surprising turn of events, a 12-year-old child was removed from school and placed in isolation for wearing a Union Jack dress during a Diversity Day celebration at a school in Rugby, England. This incident has sparked discussions about potential racism and discrimination, as well as debates on patriotism and the representation of British traditions.

The school, which held the Diversity Day to celebrate various cultures, allowed other children to wear burkas, niqabs, and traditional Nigerian clothes. However, the 12-year-old, identified as Courtney Wright, was barred from giving a speech about British traditions, including Fish n Chips, Shakespeare, and Tea, while wearing her Union Jack dress.

The incident has been met with criticism from a group called the "Wylie Warriors," a collective of proud English individuals. They have spoken out in favour of displaying and defending the Union Jack, particularly in the context of Diversity Day. The group has organised campaigns to raise funds for flying national flags in response to the incident.

One of the group's spokespeople questioned the patriotism of those who dislike the English flag, suggesting that they may not have been born in the country. However, the speaker, who expressed love for the Union Jack, having been born in England, also emphasised the importance of celebrating diversity and learning about other cultures.

The removal of Courtney from school and the subsequent isolation has left her feeling embarrassed for being British. Her experience may have influenced her perception of England negatively, a sentiment that has been shared by many who have followed the story.

Meanwhile, tennis fans from various countries, including America, Spain, Poland, Italy, and elsewhere, have been displaying their flags during tennis events, showing their love and pride for their respective nations.

The school has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the incident, but it has served as a learning experience for children about the complexities of patriotism, diversity, and the importance of understanding and respecting each other's cultures.
