Teachers are branding thousands of children racist or homophobic following playground squabbles.
More than 20,000 pupils aged 11 or younger were last year put on record for so-called hate crimes such as using the word ‘gaylord’.
One youngster was accused of being racist for calling a boy ‘broccoli head’ and another was said to be homophobic for telling a teacher ‘this work is gay’.
Two primary school children were reported for homophobia after quarrelling over a rubber and calling each other ‘gay’ and ‘lesbian’.
Those youngsters reported for petty offences at nursery classes included four in the London borough of Tower Hamlets and three in Hertfordshire.
In total, 34,000 nursery, primary and secondary pupils were effectively classed as bigots because of anti-bullying rules.
The school can keep the pupil’s name and ‘crime’ on file.
The record can be passed from primaries to secondaries or when a pupil moves between schools.

When everybody is a bigot, nobody is. And that is pretty much what they are working towards.
Western civ has gone utterly stupid.

“More than 20,000 pupils aged 11 or younger were last year put on record for so-called hate crimes such as using the word ‘gaylord’.”
I vaguely recall teachers attempting to put an end to a certain playground game we called “Smear the Queer.” You know, the one where one guy is It and runs around with a ball avoiding tackles. Which sounds insensitive to gay people, but ironically being the queer was the funnest thing about it.
Close. Drudge has it linked from Alex Jones.
