   Schools must 'confront the problem of marginalised white pupils'   
   Alexandra Frean, Education Editor   
      
      
      
   'White pupils in areas where the ethnic composition is mixed can often   
   suffer labelling and discrimination, Sir Keith will say. "They can feel   
   beleaguered and marginalised, finding their own identities under threat as   
   much as minority ethnic children might not have theirs recognised.   
   "It makes no sense in our report to focus on minority ethnic pupils without   
   trying to address and understand the issues for white pupils. It is these   
   white pupils whose attitudes are overwhelmingly important in creating   
   community cohesion. Nor is there any advantage in creating confidence in   
   minority ethnic pupils if it leaves white pupils feeling disenfranchised and   
   resentful."   
   The report will quote the example of one white pupil in her early teens who,   
   after hearing in a lesson that other members of her class originally came   
   from the Congo, Portugal, Trinidad and Poland, said that she "came from   
   nowhere".'
