According to the London
Daily Telegraph, a London schoolteacher
named Ursula Gregory was denied consideration for a teaching position
because she used the word "immigrants." A municipal panel felt that
her use of such terms showed a lack of ethnic awareness and
sensitivity. "I was worried about the use of words such as
'immigrants' and 'recent African refugees,' " said one panel
member. The members did give consideration to a candidate who had
taught in Nigeria, because "teaching there was akin to teaching in
Lambeth."
