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’.”
RE: Blair’s Britain
I have a guaranteed solution the British Government can employ to ensure they stamp out prejudice among kids once and for all. All the British Government needs to do is spend billions of tax payers money to get kids to eat their vegetables. If they learn to eat all their vegetables they weed out any capacity for discrimination at an early age.
If I say “yuck” about my mother’s or wife’s cooking; Am I racist or just suicidal?
FIRE.
THEM.
ALL.
NOW.
“David Cameron yesterday hardened the Tory attack on Britain’s “broken society” by calling for an end to “moral neutrality” whereby society refused to distinguish between good and bad behaviour.
“I have not found the words to say it sensitively,” said Cameron. “Then I realised, that is the whole point: we, as a society, have been far too sensitive. In order to avoid injury to people’s feelings, to avoid appearing judgmental, we have failed to say what needs to be said. We have seen a decades-long erosion of responsibility, of social virtue, of self-discipline, respect for others, of deferring gratification instead of instant gratification.”
Calling for an end to the “stultifying silence” about what mattered, he said: “We talk about people being ‘at risk of obesity’ instead of talking about people who eat too much and take too little exercise. We talk about people being at risk of poverty, or social exclusion: it’s as if these things – obesity, alcohol abuse, drug addiction – are purely external events like a plague or bad weather.
“Of course, circumstances – where you are born, your neighbourhood, your school, and the choices your parents make – have a huge impact. But social problems are often the consequence of the choices that people make.”
His speech marked a change in gear in one of the main themes of his leadership: how to deal with a “broken society”. The Tory leader has until now concentrated his fire on Labour for failing to tackle causes of poverty such as marital breakdown and drug abuse.
Yesterday, speaking at the start of the Tory byelection campaign for Glasgow East, he said he wanted a “mandate to call time on the twisted values that have eaten away at our social fabric”.

Only a few decades too late.
Nightmare
You would be Chauvinist or suicidal not racist. Also if your wife might want put on a strap on and you say “yuck” and refuse, you might be considered homophobic by the thought police.
The inmates have taken over the asylum.
Government motto:
Waste not, work not.
I can name at least a dozen Saskatchewan government employees, by name, who have told me that they are simply holding on to their jobs for a few more years to make sure they don’t miss out on their entitlements–meanwhile, nothing is getting done.
You can’t fire them because they have been there too long…sad but true.
Perhaps one of the lefties can help me out. How much control is enough? Is there any point at which there can be too much bureaucratic control over other people’s lives . . . ever?
The obvious things which lefties seem to believe should go uncontrolled are rioting, theft, vandalism, drug abuse, and other overt criminality. But apart from those is there any aspect of, say for instance, family life that lefties believe should be left up to the parent(s)? I’m genuinely curious to understand leftist thinking.
My grandkids are half South Asian. When their Grandparents drop in with their traditional food, the kids say YUCK!
What a dilemma for their teachers! Should they report them as being racist because they don’t like the food and say YUCK, or should they ignore them because they have darker skin and almond eyes?
My, obvious, question is: does it tell parents how to spot racist behaviour in non-white or non-western children?
I expect not.
So I’m dating a new woman, right? I’m trying to get her interested in my interests, so I show her last weekend’s UFC fight between Rampage and Griffin, and ask her what she thinks. “The white guy needs more colour” is her response. She’s white.
Thanks Canada! Thanks for brainwashing white women into believing black is good and white is bad! Can I tell you how grateful I am for you doing that?
The people who still think whitey is racist are living in 1955. White people are so hyperpetrified to be seen as racist that they are actually racist against their own kind now. Sick.
Racism is racist!
First they spend our money to convince the children that white bread is bad. Then when we serve white bread to the young’uns they say ‘yuck’and now we have to spend more money to teach them that saying yuck to white bread is unacceptable. The next generation is lucky if they can make it out of the house to their gov’t job.
Come on guys … they really didn’t expect anyone to read 366 pages … it’s not fair that someone did. It’s not the socialist way.
