With the increasing number of racist insults targeted at students by senior educators, it is baffling that the public outrage calling for stern punitive actions against the perpetrators has fallen on deaf ears.

The authorities seemed more concerned about the vulgarity of Namewee's songs which viciously attacked the racist school principal, Siti Inshah Mansor of SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra in Kulai.

Alarmingly racism too has crept into schools, the very place where kids were expected to be nurtured with principles of unity, racial integration and tolerance.
