It is so ridiculous that at one time I would have thought it was a wind up.
Unfortunately it is blindingly obvious that a mallet is being taken to anyone who breathes sideways and at all times we are being ordered to keep our heads down, avert our gaze, shut up and put up, turn the other cheek and allow ourselves to be shat on from a great height.

they are trying to make normal behavior seem abnormal so they can control people more easy its called psychological warfare.

Yes and the weak minded fall for it - only the strong resist it - survival of the fittest.

National Children's Bureau
8 Wakley Street
London
EC1V 7QE
Telephone
+44 (0)20 7843 6000

Phoned and reported a child saying "..... wooly headed nig nog ...."
the young lady was very supportive although said I should NOT, as I intended,
clip the youngster round the lugs, next time I see her.

She mentioned the parents and I offered to get a couple of mates and duff them up but again she thought this was innapropriate behaviour.

So if you hear a child saying "Yuk" call +44 (0)20 7843 6000

I like spicy food - Mexican, Indian, Thai etc - but can't stand jellied eels. Am I being racist towards Cockneys?

Recent media coverage referring to the NCB publication, Young Children and Racial Justice: Taking action for racial equality in the early years, has misrepresented the content and purpose of this valuable tool designed to support early years professionals in their work.

A spokesperson from NCB said: ‘It is an excellent resource which has been specially designed to help teachers and nursery leaders recognise what is, and just as importantly, what is NOT potentially racist behaviour and attitudes in youngsters in their care.

References to use of the word ‘yuk’, ‘spicy foods’ and reporting young children to local authorities, in this 366-page book, have been misrepresented and misunderstood as a consequence of that.’ (Read the specific passage and response at www.ncb.org.uk)

‘This book is being funded by NCB from book sales alone – and not from government funding or from any grants, as has also been reported. The sales have been excellent so far which goes to show there is an acknowledged need for books like it. ’

Jane Lane, the author, who is not a member of NCB staff, but an advocate worker for racial equality in the early years sector, said: ‘Children are like sponges and the early years of their lives are critical for helping them understand and learn to respect the opinions, differences, similarities and needs of others.’

Well Ms. Jane Lane needs to take a hike.
In the early years children are the responsibility of their parents and interfering busybodies should find something more productive to do with their time.

There is enough to worry about with serious cruelty and child abuse to occupy a whole battalion of social workers, NSPCC members and good neighbours.

This sort of inane twaddle should be consigned to the back pages of a joke book.


Oh and just as an aside.....

How much is this, Ms. Jane Lane being paid as 'an advocate worker for racial equality in the early years sector' ?

Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.

The guidance by the NCB is designed to draw attention to potentially-racist attitudes in youngsters from a young age.

SHOOT THEM - Not the toddlers, the nazis...

I totally agree! I must be racist, because I've hated spicy food since the time I was weaned!

On the other hand, let this be a lesson to those unfit mothers who dump their offspring in daycare while they shuffle papers and flirt with the boss.

Will they be better staying home then, well I guess they are not meant to win. We have to have someone to complain about and chastise.

Going out to work to provide for you and your child/children= Very Bad, Punish her.

Staying home and looking after her child/children= Very Bad, Lazy Dole Scum, punish her, make her get a J-O-B!!!:-)

But for how long can you maintain that strength while the majority and system is continuously grinding you?
