Three-year-olds being labelled bigots by teachers as 250,000 children accused of racism (UK)
MailOnline ^ | 9/23/2010 | Laura Clark

Teachers are being forced to report children as young as three to the authorities for using alleged ‘racist’ language, it was claimed last night.

Munira Mirza, a senior advisor to London Mayor Boris Johnson, said schools were being made to spy on nursery age youngsters by the Race Relations Act 2000.

More than a quarter of a million children have been accused of racism since it became law, she said. Spied upon: 'Racist language' by children must be reported. (Posed by models)

Writing in Prospect magazine, she said: ‘The more we seek to measure racism, the more it seems to grow.

‘Teachers are now required to report incidents of racist abuse among children as young as three to local authorities, resulting in a massive increase of cases and reinforcing the perception that we need an army of experts to manage race relations from cradle to grave.

‘Does this heightened awareness of racism help to stamp it out? Quite the opposite. It creates a climate of suspicion and anxiety.’

The Act compelled 43,000 public authorities, including schools and churches, ‘to promote good relations between persons of different racial groups’. Details of the incidents are logged on databases.

Teachers are allowed to report racism even if the alleged ‘victim’ was not offended or if the child does not understand what they were saying.

Bull.

The more you ‘look for racism’ the more you find because you constantly redefine what ‘racism’ is.

And the definition of “racist language” will be whatever the professional victim says it is.

This is one heck of a way to mess with kids’ heads. Children will be afraid to interact, not knowing if the professional victim will go off on them. Artificially induced autism by means of psychological abuse?

This is in the British schools, hasn’t come to America yet. But it could.

Another reason...?

I plan on accusing my man parts of racism on an hourly basis.

Britain is outrageous. They are putting the Soviet Union to shame. I would not be able to live peacefully in that society. But if we don’t get homeland security under control, that is where we are headed.
