After claiming that bosses at Bertha Park High School (inset) in Perth, Scotland, refused to discourage students from racially insulting her in class, Rizwana Mallet-Ali (pictured) tries to sue Bertha Park High School (inset). Children regularly addressed her using the Jamaican greeting term 'wagwan,' she told a work tribunal. She also claimed she was mocked due to her skin color. Such abuse was so severe that she asked that retaliant offenders be barred or face police action as a result of 'hate crimes.'
