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

The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year,
mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to
play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist
incidents among youngsters in their care.
This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in
response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.
The guidance by the NCB is designed to draw attention to potentially-
racist attitudes in youngsters from a young age.
It alerts playgroup leaders that even babies can not be ignored in the
drive to root out prejudice as they can "recognise different people in
their lives".
The 366-page guide for staff in charge of pre-school children, called
Young Children and Racial Justice, warns: "Racist incidents among
children in early years settings tend to be around name-calling,
casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships."
It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such
as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".
The guide goes on to warn that children might also "react negatively
to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuk'".
Staff are told: "No racist incident should be ignored. When there is a
clear racist incident, it is necessary to be specific in condemning
the action."
Warning that failing to pick children up on their racist attitudes
could instill prejudice, the NCB adds that if children "reveal
negative attitudes, the lack of censure may indicate to the child that
there is nothing unacceptable about such attitudes".
Nurseries are encouraged to report as many incidents as possible to
their local council. The guide added: "Some people think that if a
large number of racist incidents are reported, this will reflect badly
on the institution. In fact, the opposite is the case."
You are not very current are you?
Both Terry and Len have seen the wisdom posted by liberals on this
forum and have become socialists. They are now off studying the Koran
and learning french. Once they finish their courses, they will
relocate to Quebec, be employed by Bombardier, vote Liberal and be
rednecks no more!
Due to their advanced ages, both will soon be eligible to recieve full
pensions and benifit packages, courtesy of the federal government and
Canadian tax payers.
bullshit.
on so many levels.
how i even deign to reply to such a post which insults the intelligence
of the average reader....?
anyhow, in case you were wondering, '1984' wasn't meant to be a manual,
you moron- it is meant as a warning about just such bullshit as the
dross you just posted.
==========================
Peffers you are a total nutcase! You continual blabber makes you an
utter fool with the continual incoherence.
Any person that promotes socialistic human engineering as espoused by
the article presented here really needs to go to a psycho for evaluation
of ones sanity.
It seems you would like a society like HGWells 1984.
Now just fuck off.

My goodness Peffers, you old, racist sack of crap. You do like to
cross-post your spam a lot, don't you?
