Parents demand apology after girl, 12, put in isolation for wearing Union Jack dress
Courtney Wright, 12, wore a Spice Girls-esque dress and wrote a piece about history and traditions as part of the diversity day celebrations at Bilton School in Rugby last Friday Parents at a school where a girl was turned away from a diversity day celebration for wearing a union flag dress are outraged over her treatment and have called on the headmistress to apologise publicly. Straight A student Courtney Wright, 12, arrived at Bilton School in Rugby excited to show pals her Spice Girls-style dress, which features a union flag made out of red and blue sequins. However, on arrival, she was isolated away from the rest of her class, removed from her lesson and forced to wait at the school reception until her fuming dad could pick her up after work. The youngster had also spent days preparing a speech about history and traditions, which she was barred from giving. Now, parents of the girl's schoolmates have spoken out, branding the episode "disgusting", while others noted the school had only specified that football strips would not be allowed. "What kind of message does this send out to the local community?" one father asked. "Cancelling a child because she's proud of her British heritage is outrageous. It's the head mistress who needs cancelling and who needs to stop hiding behind the school trust and make a public apology." One dad, 44, whose 12-year-old daughter is in the same year as Courtney, told the MailOnline: "I couldn't believe it when I saw it on social media. It's disgusting if you think this was supposed to be about celebrating diversity. My daughter wore a tie made of the family tartan because we are Scottish and nothing was said about that. "It's a medium multi-ethnic school and there were other pupils who wore traditional Asian dress and headwear which was acceptable, so why not allow a union flag dress?" The school's Trust has since apologised for the incident - but some say it's too little too late. One mum said that the majority of parents are backing Courtney's dad in the row, adding that her daughter had heard the 12-year-old was removed because the school celebrates British culture on a daily basis. In a statement yesterday, it appeared as though the Prime Minister is backing Courtney and her dad too. A spokesperson for Number 10 said: 'I think the school has put out a statement on this so I'm not going to comment further, but the Prime Minister has always been clear that being British is something to be celebrated.' Dad Stuart said the school's actions went against its message and other pupils with St George's flags and Welsh flags were also turned away from the school gates. He said: "Courtney was so embarrassed and couldn't understand what she'd done wrong. It's the school who have made it political and it went against everything the event was being held for. She chose the dress and wrote the piece off her own back. "They day was to celebrate everyone's cultures and Courtney chose this Union Flag dress so she could celebrate hers. She also wrote this speech to go with it and was very proud of what she'd done. The next thing I get a call at work at around 9am to say she's not allowed in school dressed like that and that it was unacceptable. "I wasn't able to get away from work until about midday. They made her sit in reception all morning in front of the receptionists and kept her in isolation. She should not be made to feel embarrassed about being British. And she shouldn't be punished for celebrating being British - nobody else I've spoken to can quite get their heads around it. "Somebody at the school has politicised a Union Jack dress even though that was clearly not Courtney's intent. Courtney didn't do anything to be political. It's about being British, the Spice Girls and even the freedom at being able to wear a dress. This is just what being British means to her."

Pan by Michael Clune review – a stunning debut of teen psychosis
The narrator of American nonfiction author Michael Clune's first novel is the 15-year-old Nicholas, who lives with his father in a housing development so cheap and deracinated it inspires existential terror. It's a place exposed to 'the raw death of the endless future, which at night in the midwest in winter is sometimes bare inches above the roofs'. Just as frightening is Nicholas's sense that 'anything can come in'. One day in January, what comes into Nicholas is the god Pan – a possessing, deranging, life-threatening spirit. Or that, anyhow, is how Nicholas comes to interpret his increasingly disabling anxiety. Pan is remarkable for the honesty of its treatment of both mental illness and adolescence. It shows more successfully than any other book I've read how these can be experienced as black magic – indeed, it allows that they might be black magic. Nicholas successfully prophesies trivial events (the wind rising, someone saying the word 'diabetes') and is haunted by a dead mouse's squeak. Another boy finds a means of divination in a schlock fantasy novel. Even the pop anthem More Than a Feeling is a path to the uncanny; it's a song with 'a door in the middle of it … like the door on a UFO'. Nicholas becomes convinced that he is perpetually at risk of leaving his body – specifically, that his 'looking/thinking could pour or leap out' of his head – and his friends, also being 15 years old, are ready to believe it, too. They are easy prey for Ian, a college-age man who sets himself up as a small-time cult leader among these high-school kids. Ian particularly targets Nicholas, telling him that only they are capable of real thoughts; the others in the group are 'Hollows' who have 'Solid Mind', a deterministic mentality with no animating self. 'The sound of words from a Hollow mouth,' says Ian, 'contains an abyss.' Soon the group is staging rituals incorporating sex, drugs and animal sacrifice. Meanwhile, Nicholas loses his ability to sleep and spirals toward psychosis. Clune is brilliant on the loss of control and exaggeration of terror that follows. Falling out of your face can be transcendence, but can also represent extinction. When Nicholas sees a black-and-white photograph of a group of long-dead priests, he reflects: 'Now they'd all stepped out of their faces … The faces hung there like rows of empty sneakers in a shop window. The priests had stepped out.' At his hardware-store job, Nicholas sees the racks of garden tools and realises, 'These are animals too … These are the husks, the waiting bodies, the body traps of animals.' He knows that if he stares at the hand spades and rotary tillers long enough, he can inhabit them; even household objects now have a door in the middle of them. Nicholas's reality becomes fluid. Among his friends, he becomes the object of semi‑religious, semi-voyeuristic fascination. What is truly remarkable here is that the extravagance feels meticulously true to a certain state of altered consciousness. I doubt that anyone has had Nicholas's exact experiences, or even ones that resemble them in obvious ways. Still, anyone who has experienced mental illness – and many who have just been 15 years old – will find even Clune's most phantasmagoric pages uncannily familiar. There are trade-offs to fiction that strives to be honest. Here, one is that the other characters never fully become people. They're external experiences that inform the way Nicholas relates to his own mind, and it's often very credible that they are 'Hollows' with no real consciousness. This may be a truthful depiction of the isolation characteristic of extreme mental states. It also means the story is unrelentingly solipsistic. The plot centres on inner epiphanies. While these present themselves as life-saving answers, they all turn out to be brief respites, some evanescing so quickly that they're forgotten seconds later. It's no surprise that Sisyphus appears as a reference here. This is certainly true both of coping with mental illness and surviving adolescence. It also risks making the reader feel as if we're going nowhere. But this is not really to criticise the book: it's just to say what it is and isn't. A reader who approaches Pan expecting the usual rewards of a coming-of-age story will be sorely disappointed. It offers not answers but visions; not growth but lambent revelation; not closure but openings. 'Good writing,' Nicholas tells us, is 'the careful, painstaking replacement of each part of this world with a part that [looks] the same, but [is] deeper, more mysterious, richer.' This feels like a fair description of Clune's own process, with the proviso that he is not replacing but supplementing; not substituting for reality, but adding to it. Nicholas ends his inner journey without arriving at the cure he has been pursuing. But when we close the book, we find ourselves in a larger world.
