Excuse me for reading the article and jumping to that conclusion, God forbid !



I fail to understand why in various discussions, you seem to take a certain gratification by repeatedly dredging up little "ignoratio elenchis", as if they change anything or prove anything in any way relevant to the point of the discussion.

Though granted, it was late last night and I didn't actually see the "Britain First" wording, but there were so many articles on this topic to choose from, I didn't even look. Just skim read the article, that's all.

I could understand your critique IF there isn't excessive political correctness in schools, but surely you agree that there is? So if you agree, then why try to find some flaw in what I'm writing, when you agree that there is a problem?

On the other hand, maybe you don't agree. Perhaps you think the status quo is fine and dandy. If that's the case, then I can understand your approach.

But here's the problem...

Not Britain first nor the BNP wrote this article I linked to earlier:
http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6004257

They didn't write this one either:
Children accused of bigotry

Nor this one:
3 year olds labeled bigots

Nor this one:
7 year old boy accused of racism
From the above link:


There are endless examples of cases like these, and I don't think they fall apart under analysis, unless I'm missing something here and if so - then by all means tell me what it is.

Its all PC madness I tell you !
After a bit of digging i have found the real reason why these children get "reported for racism" simple answer is they don't .What is being reported is all inappropriate behavior by all pupils of any age .It is a monitoring exercise and a way of gauging the parents responsibility to the child ,in other words if the parents are openly racist in front of the child at home then that is carried into the school ,the same with bullying patterns emerge and racist/bullying parents can be spoken to and children who grow into racist bullies can be addressed at a earlier age .Yes it can be construed as big brother tactics but there is a purpose that has been blatantly misrepresented by the likes of the Mail .
