A primary school in the UK has sparked outrage for segregating children on different playgrounds, dividing them between those whose parents paid for new playground equipment and those whose parents didn’t.

Wednesbury Oak Academy, outside Birmingham, England, instituted the new policy on Jan. 3 after giving parents months to pay the £6-($8.10-)per-child donation for the new playground equipment, the Mirror reports.
