I personally think it was wrong to hand out such a punishment to her. I do think there has to be accountability though if you say such vile hate filled racist comments.

Surely some sort of educational course , like footballers guilty of racist comments would be sufficient.

It's a case of deciding what prison is for, is it punishment or rehabilitation. yes I know it's a combination of both but I'd have thought being forced to do some course and face people admitting what horrible thoughts you have would be a punishment in itself.
