Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and hey Jude, he’s got early warning;
The London-based National Children’s Bureau released a 366-page guide counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The Telegraph reported Monday.
The guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to “recognize different people in their lives.”
The bureau says to be aware of children who “react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying ‘yuck’.”
What if they say “yuck” to their own?
Wonder what the guide says about recognizing stupidity?
Kate, this seems far-fetched. Are you sure you didn’t make this up? Just kidding!
This would make most Muslim kids very likely candidates for apprehension by the thought police – No?

how about margaret wente on “skinhead mom” who had her kids scooped up
by “childrens services”… “One hates to side with Aryan Nation, but the mom
is right. Simply teaching your children odious and creepy beliefs is not
enough to lose them to the state. If it were, we’d have a good case to
apprehend the offspring of, say, Tom Cruise.”

From Jane Lane author of Young Children and Racial Justice :
As Michelle Obama, wife of the US Democratic Presidential nominee, says: ‘Real change comes from having enough comfort to be really honest and say something very uncomfortable.’
I guess these people really believe they are on to something.
Oh well maybe common sense in England will just die instead of suffering a slow long death.
As insane as this seems there is a perverse logic to it. Imagining that children can be racists makes it open to them being also be sexualized. N.a.m.b.l.a”s dream to make sex with children normal.
Just as gay marriage opened the door to Muslim polygamy & the welfare harems.
By making adult assumptions based on fairy dust they are attributing adult reasoning to toddlers. As well one might consider if your child displays any of these normal human behaviors they will be seen as symptoms in front of the mad who rule us. You children may be taken by social services if they deem the child racist. This is what happens when the truly ludicrous creatures of hate, are allowed power. No absurdity is too great nor any incorrect thought from these nuts ,of actuality.
This could be Canada in a few years.
Alas Britain.
My girlfriend must be the ultimate racist. She’s a vegetarian, and was raised in Canton Province. I took her to visit my family a couple of years back, and she survived on boiled eggs for ten days. When we got back her first stop was a dim sum in Calgary. I’ve never seen a little woman eat that much in my life.
Sometimes when she cooks a traditional dish, I not only say yuck, I physically gag. We exchange a few good natured racial slurs, and go about our business. Sort of like the “bigot family” on the old “Bizarre” TV show. I’ve decided the best way to deal with racism is to make it a part of your everyday life. Don’t hold it in and let it fester. Make your feelings known. If someone puts deepfried chicken feet in front of you, and you don’t say yuck, you’re only making it worse for the rest of us.
>”children who “react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying ‘yuck’.”
As if the kid is reacting to the “culinary tradition” rather than the bad taste.
It seems to me the overzealous folks at the National Children’s Bureau can’t tell the difference between race and culture.
To that I would teach my child to say “yuck fou” instead of Oliver Twist’s “Please Sir, I want some more.”
“Racial Justice”, as referred to in the linked claptrap, should mean that justice is blind to race. This should mean that whether or not anyone likes any particular food or not should depend only on whether or not they like the food or not, and in particular it should not depend upon some sort of so-called race that is some how now supposedly some sort of socio-cultural fodder for the angry-studies victimization-promoting ambulance-chasing fraud-artists and shysters.
Indeed, it is just these various enemies of humanity, such as the “London-based National Children’s Bureau” quango referred to in the linked claptrap, who, via their violation of the public trust by attaching so-called racial labels to normative food-based de gustibus non disputandum est axiology, are in fact the greatest racists of all. Personally, I’d like to be retromingent on their food.
I don’t hate, because it’s a waste of energy, but I despise, despise I say, racism. And it’s the worst, the worst I say, when it’s promulgated by those who are fraudulently claiming to be anti-racist. The obvious ones are relatively easy to deal with, but these bureau-shysters really are a sticky wicket.
(And now I’m going to go have a bowl of cream of butter soup with a side of sour cream, a selection of three cream cheeses, and a glass of buttermilk ~ I guess that means I’m a race of one, since nobody else eats like that.)
So would this also apply to Muslim kids who think pork is gross?
The decay of our society, lefties running wild. Order of Canada awards given to baby killers. Marriage of one man and one woman, or soon one man and women, children taken away from parents not for abuse, but because they are not politically correct. I’ve got to tell you, I’m not very happy in this lefty world. It’s morally bankrupt.
Hunter,
Morals have nothing to do with food.
Now eat your Soylent Green and don’t say “yuk”.
Noted English cook Jamie Oliver took on the “Turkey Twisters” school lunch regime in England. Cooked up really rather wonderful, and relatively healthy, food.
Ungrateful little wretchs said “Yech”.
Rather like my four year old confronted with mildly spicy Italian sausage. Hates the wops does my Max…save that he has the same “Yech” response to broccoli, curry, lamb with “to much (as if) garlic”, and lentils. While the Lying Jackal would probably call him a bigot, I am going with “four year old”.
(His older brother wants to cook up a plate of eels…Yech.)
Y’all must be racist too, because I believe you would say “YUCK” if I served you some traditional authentic native american foods. Stuff like charred moose nose, boiled cattail root, roasted beaver tail and mouse soup, all washed down with birch tip beer.
Hey, my wife must be racist… because she always says “yuck” and tells me to be quiet when I start to tell people how to make mouse soup… GRIN
BTW, I think the U.K. is doomed.
The ultimate irony, a Brit agency lecturing on things gastronomic.
(this gave me a chuckle:
gas·tro·nom·ic (gstr-nmk) also gas·tro·nom·i·cal (–kl)
adj.
Of or relating to gastronomy.
This is sooo helpful to an ESL student 😉

National Children’s Bureau receives about 12 million pounds a year to write 366 pages of crap. That works out to about $66,000/page in loonies. Pretty good work if you can get it. It would be interesting (in a perverse way) to find out exactly how many people are directly on the public teat over there. Probably a safe guess is that government is the largest employer.
I guess my wife is racist because whenever she sees grits she goes “yuck”.
If someone put haggis in front of me, not only would I say “yuck”, I’d probably also say “What the hell is this s**t!”
I also have a problem with pea soup. It looks like something that was regurgitated.
I do have one question about this nonsense. How the hell do you recognize and then “correct” racism in babies? If a baby looks funny at someone, it’s most likely just gas.
I hope the Brits are laughing at this ridiculous group and their idiocy.
“The bureau says to be aware of children who “react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying ‘yuck’.””
Is saying “yuck” to an intellectual tradition other than your own permitted?
If so, yuck.
think of what Dion would say if he had a plate of prairie oysters in front of him.
…. and from this, they make a living?
Yesterday I finished reading a book on the battle of Britain, those first months when Churchill inspired people to take a stand, when surrender seemed the smarter choice.
Full of tales of heroism by ordinary people, made me mist up frequently – in a manly kinda way.
So…what the heck happened to that place? Or is it much too soon for Canadians to feel smug?
Considering the British reputation for, er, ahem, culinary skills, being lectured by anyone in shattered kingdom on edible food is rich. Did someone want some more curried chutney on their bangers and mash?
Too much izzy money, Morgan. ~:D
I must be a very bad person. My Mom used to cook traditional Lutafisk for the holidays. I not only said “Yuck”, I even got a little bit of the dry heaves. I’m so very sorry.

366 pages eh! Well, they have to do something to justify their existence.
If anyone wonders why western economies have been stagnating for the past couple of decades, part of the reason is the proliferation of unproductive activist groups and organizations like this one.
Why don’t English simply kill the dorks overrunning the government? It’s used to be called a mutiny or revolution at some point. Oh, I’ve forgotten – they surrendered all guns…
Britain should be renamed Land of Political Correctness Run Amok.
I think this is all the product of a political culture where Activist Groups dictate the policy of the country. Take BC for example: “The Great Bear Rain Forest” named by Green Peace commies, Gun Amnesties – nuf said, Global Warming radio ads fantasizing the “Carbon Tax”. G*d Damed nut jobs dictate the culture. Look out Britain, here we come!
Got to get back on my Book; White Boy, A Dying Breed.
Yep, this definately looks like the ground rules being set to take your kids away if the Gummint decides you are a racist whitey.
Skip obviously you have never had “spotted dick”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_Dick
Seriously though, who would have thought ZaNuLabour would get away with using George Orwell’s 1984 as a blueprint for their brave new world?
In another news story I read, the “bureau” re-assured their “clients” that there was no reason to fear a bad reputation due to a high number of “racist” incident reports because a high number would, rather than reflect badly on your organization, evidence a sincere effort at “improvement” and keen compliance. Government regulators actually “think” this way as we’ve seen with the HRCs.
One thing tho: don’t discount the public’s disgust with this nuttiness. It may appear to be non existent for what seems like a interminable period of time, and then explode. All these “Tony Blair’s Britain” stories suggest to me the UK may be approaching a period of violent civil unrest.
And economic decline could be the trigger as the Cool Brittania meme wanes. The Labour party will soon implode and, sadly, a fightening and real racist/ fascist party like the BNP may soar.
I don’t think that even Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot had the vision or ingeniousness to hunt down enemies of the state by food preferences. You’ve got to give high marks to the harpies at the National Children’s Bureau. Want to bet that ratting on what’s in mommy’s fridge was coming next?
Socialism destroys the mind, the spirit, the family, a whole country given time. These snapshots of the Brits demise simply capture larval fascist stages. The way it’s going re-education camps are a decade away. Their only salvation is to dump Labour and Brussels as soon as they can.
This is just a misdirection–they’ll be telling ’em to prepare their gruel and biscuits without knives next and want to slip it by.
What struck me about this is that the bureaucrats writing it likely have never had children.
Children say yuck at everything. That is the default.
But bureaucrats may not know that, because they are contributing to demographic decline by putting their “careers” ahead of family, and thus get a disproportionate sense of their own importance, because they don’t have children to ground them. Even Michaelle Jean, our dear Governor General who thinks aborting babies is something to celebrate, only has one child, and that one she adopted as an older mother. Bureaucrats and large families don’t go together.
Which is why they are so darn clueless about toddlers. Yet they still think they can tell us how to raise our kids. Only people without kids can afford to be arrogant.

I read the “racist toddler ” story and…
And what about Muslims?
They say yuk to our dogs,
they say yuk to the way our women dress,
they say yuk to our drinking alcohol,
and they say yuk to ham and bacon,
they say yuk to piggie banks,
They say yuk to piglet in Winnie the pooh,
and they say yuk to Mohamed cartoons,
and they say yuk to Christian symbols…
will those Muslims be be watched?
will they be reported?
will they be re-educated?
Of course NOT!
because it is not actually racism that those crazy people are after, they hate western civilization, they are full of self loathing.
They go out of their way bending over backward to protect every other race and every other culture, and every other religion but their own!
The western white catholic culture? They spit on it trhough all those measures they take to make it seem as if every other culture is better than our own!
Makes me want to puke.
Here is another story on the state going WAY too far,

Canadian Court to Father: Grounding Daughter ‘Too Severe’ a Punishment
By Allison Aldrich
CNSNews.com Correspondent
June 26, 2008
(CNSNews.com) – What started as a simple case of parent-child disagreement has turned into what some fear is a precedent-setting ruling.
In Quebec, a 12-year-old girl repeatedly ignored her father’s rules and posted a profile of herself at an online dating site. Her father then grounded her from attending her sixth grade field trip.
The punishment lasted as long as it took the girl to notify her court-appointed lawyer, have the judge “fast-track” the case, and ultimately get her punishment overturned by a Quebec Superior Court….
… … …
In other words a father trying to protect his own daughter from weirdos, pedophiles, rapists and serial killers is the bad guy in the eye of the nanny state nuts.
WANT MORE OF THIS?
VOTE LIBERAL !!!
I nominate the authors of this booklet for the order of Canada.
I used to teach English in Japan–some of the first words I taught the two year olds were “yummy” and “yucky”–they found it easy to say and understand. Had I known what I was doing to these poor children….scarred for life as racists. How will I ever forgive myself???
him,
Eat only revolting ethnic food for three years, and smile; and then, and only then, shall ye be forgiven.

“children who “react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own

yup… i know “racist toddlers” are at the top of my threat matrix.

hope the Brits are laughing at this ridiculous group and their idiocy.

I doubt it. After all, the society for modesty has been trying for years to diper every animal in England. This is more than a ridiculious story of out of control facist bunnies. They work in layers. This is the onslught of something even worse.
I think that I’d have a pretty big problem with roasted human flesh. Does that make me anti-Fijian?
Before some prig jumps in to label my comment, in itself, racist, I would point out that I have heard people only a few generations removed from cannibalism make jokes about it. (Much more emotionally well-adjusted than wusy Canadians moaning apologetically about the actions of their forefathers.)
Two cogent excerpts in that Telegraph article that go to the heart of the matter:
1. The second sentence, “The National Children’s Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance…”
2. the final paragraph: “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.”
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put two and two together here. This NGO has found a way to trouser £12 million per year, using a threadbare ‘combating racism’ cover. The more incidents of “racism” reported about these small kids, the stronger their case to trouser even more of the taxpayers’ money in the next budget year. Then they can hire more “social scientists” and other bureaucrats, working towards ensuring themselves a permanent fixture to the public teat. Beats working for a living, if you can get away with it.
Friend of USA
It seems to be quiet clear that in our new progressive society women have the right to abort their babies at leisure where men are denied the right to protect their own.
Dave in Pa.: Bingo, perfectly stated.
The only cure for the insanity overtaking the West is to immediately ax 70% of the bureaucracies. When is the last time you can remember their interference accomplishing anything other than furthering their self-serving goals. ie. more power, more money.
Search your memory for government interferance that has done something good without inflicting damage.
Imagine if you will if such a thing were to happen and those funds were returned to the tax payers of this nation the wealth creation that would be undertanken. Canada would in months become the most productive and wealthiest by individual, country on the planet. Every man women and child’s life would immidiately become safer and their financial future far more secure than it is today.
If I were to continue with a crusade advocating this stance and it began to gain some traction, I believe my life would be in jeopardy. The power they wield is uncontrollable.
Two anecdotes to illustrate my point.
BCE one of the worlds largest communications companies is being taken over by the Ontario
Teachers pension fund. Never mind the implications of it being a communications company this takeover from the point of view of dollars is enormous, largest ever leveraged buyout as a matter of fact. The teachers union isn’t even the biggest public employees
pension fund and we got them for every government in the country. Actually North America.
Another one would be I had the a unusual opportunity to overhear some tax people talking. What they were bragging about was
the clock here in Vancouver counting down to the Olympics had just ticked over to 666 those government folk all rushed down to have their picture taken. This maybe a harmless prank by your government employees. However this is not an isolated incident and for myself this type of activity is very disturbing.
I’m sure if one where to poll people in this country they could find dozens and dozens of such activities well beyond the implications of the religious but just as outrageous.
-20% of the population is employeed by the some kind of government.
-White males are restricted from being hired to work in the public sector.
-Today public service unions are the largest pools of capital on the planet. (They have all the money and control the assets.)
-They train your children
-They not politicians write the laws.
Scary stuff.
Your government employees at work.
