On talk sport this morning John Gaunt announced that a 12 million a year funded (by us) government think tank have submitted a report advising that nursery school teachers onwards should report children of racist behaviour.

This includes if from the age of 3, they are presented with a non english dish such as curry and make a facial gesture or remark such as yuk.

If the nursery teacher feels that this is wrong to report, the nursery teacher themselves is being racist and will face some sort of action against them if found out.

My kids throw a wobbly if we try to feed them a piece of fruit or breakfast cereal, or sunday roast vegetable they don't like.

What the fuck is going on with our country when a 3 year old is going to be reported as a racist because they turn their nose up at something they don't want to eat?

[Jel]

Nothing. This country is great. You racist.

[Tigger]

what a complete fucking joke - but its ok to have the Black Radio show on BB1 !!!! the biggest racists in the UK are the blacks! - I'm not a racist I watch loads of porn with black girls in it - hehe

If you have ever dealt with local or central government you will soon learn that they are motivated by generating paperwork for different people to process in their department. Few are actually graded on results or improvements and money is a never ending stream. Under Gordon Brown the stream was a river and now a flood. No UK Chancellor ever put his hand so deep into your pockets.

So having a 12 million pound think tank is small fry but they still have to come up with a result at the end. You can usually see by the result how good the think tank was and the people in it. To report a child for turning their nose up at any food, especially a foreign dish, is about as stupid a result as all the others.

Will they report an Indian child of 3 as a racist for turning his nose up at liver and bacon?

No they will not because the people on these kind of committees are racists themselves. Only white children will get reported.

Your taxes pay for this.

Curry is a non-English dish?

That has to be the biggest joke Quango ever. Where do they find these people?

[dvtimes]

i heard this the other day.

at 3 most kids will not understand what they say or the meaning behind what they say.

i suspect this is more to do with trying to get votes.

a bit like those two ship building contracts the other week for huge militery boats that are not needed and will use up a huge chunk of militery budget. it was simply to buy votes.

On a similar note (Ish) I remember vaguely the hoo ha about our old friend "Baa Baa Black Sheep", I couldn't remember the outcome so I Googled it & found an article from the Times back in March 2006, here's the opening bit from said article:

Traditional nursery rhymes are being rewritten at nursery schools to avoid causing offence to children.Instead of singing “Baa baa, black sheep” as generations of children have learnt to do, toddlers in Oxfordshire are being taught to sing “Baa baa, rainbow sheep”.

This urban myth began in 1986 and it's well documented. It was one of the first "PC gone mad" stories in the tabloid press.

If you have the patience to read beyond hysterical headlines, here's some history:

And that's how urban myths about Baa Baa Black Sheep can last for over 20 years.

My little girl learned Baa Baa Black Sheep at nursery last week. Been driving us crazy with it ever since...

Someone do a search for the original meaning and intentions of this nursery rhyme and you might find it was political satire in the days when if you mentioned the name of the person it was aimed at you will find your self in The Tower.

Baa Baa Black Sheep I think refers to taxes.

Don't have time as I'm having a lazy day.

[NoRotRuby]

This is fucking ridiculous! I, as an American am appalled, yet not surprised that this is an AMERICAN "think tank" that is perpetuating this bunk *sighs* Just look at the buffoons we have running our country and the choices we have for this election coming up in November :banghead:

It's no wonder the entire world HATES us, this is a perfect example of wasted tax dollars and the politically correct lace panties we have over here running the country being led around by their shorthairs cowtowing to these fucking minority groups :banghead:

Here's a couple links to what this rhyme means and it's origins lol

http://www.rhymes.org.uk/baa_baa_black_sheep.htm
http://archive.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/2006/3/7/91578.html

Here's a politically correct version

Baa Baa (or any sound a wool byproduct animal and/or animal with a speech difference may say) rainbow creature with a byproduct of wool, their first product being that of life.

Have you any spare bodily features that might be organically and harmlessly taken from said creature with minimum stress?

Yes sir, madam or any other life form or race or being that is equal to all others, yes sir, madam, those of which are both equal in statutory rights and society, three (or any other non-offensive non-religious number) containers full.

One for the male who is equal in power to any other gender,

One for the female who is also as equal in power and not inclined to stay and do housework and produce offspring,

And another for the young male of no specific religion or origin, who, under the age of eight is not considered any lesser to a young male or female of more time since birth, and although lives in a narrow street, should not be stereotyped as unwealthy, chemically-dependent or abusing, or in anyway lower in society to someone who may be older, younger, of other origin, religion, gender, or species.

And here's a version I'd like to give the politically correct fuckers
Baa Baa Fucking Sheep
Give us some bloody wool, or we're gonna beat the shit out of you and fucking take it anyway, and we'll make it bloody hurt!
Yeah, I got some wool, but it ain't for you bastard,
One bag for that prick that thinks he's the boss when actually he's a major twat,
One for the whore that hangs around shop corners,
And one for the glue-sniffing cock-headed shit-bag who ran away from home and now sleeps in a box,
So you can fuck off!
