Sierra Leone boy banned from British school for fear of Ebola

A nine year old Sierra Leone school boy Kofi Mason-Sesay has been banned from attending a British primary school because parents are worried about Ebola.

Kofi was due to spend several days at St Simon’s Catholic Primary School in Stockport, Greater Manchester, as part of an annual visit but he was turned down after parents of other school kids who feared he could pass the deadly virus on other kids mounted pressure on the school to have his  trip cancelled. His mother, Miriam Mason-Sesay, whois utterly mad by the school’s decision tells Dailymail:

‘The school and its governors have been extremely supportive, but I’m afraid they’ve been put under undue pressure by an aggressive minority spreading panic and ignorance about this virus. I am a reasonable citizen and mother – there is no way I would be wandering around with my nine-year-old if he had ebola. We have had one case in Britain, but just one, because we contain it.

It is a difficult disease to catch but that point has not been taken on by these ignorant parents. We have absolutely no contact with sick people – we’re an education charity,’ she said.
