Education consultant says white paper may cause racism in young children

Will white paper make your child racist?

According to Anne O'Connor, an "early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity," it may, reports the UK Telegraph.

Julie Henry writes:

“ Children should be provided with paper other than white to drawn on and paints and crayons should come in "the full range of flesh tones", reflecting the diversity of the human race, according to the former teacher.

Not only that, O'Connor says witches' traditional black pointy hats should be replaced with pink ones while fairies should be dressed in darker colors.

When my daughter was three she was in daycare. When I picked her up she was telling me about one of her teachers. I asked her “is she the black teacher”? She looked at me like I was stupid and said “she’s peach”. I said “oh”. She kept on with the story and mentioned her other teacher. I asked if she was black. Again, she looked at me like I was stupid and said “she’s brown”. LOL

So, does writing on white paper with black ink or lead promote racial violence of the black on white variety? Is that why inter-racial assaults and other violent inter-racial crimes are so predominantly black on white? And is that why such violence is never considered a “hate crime” since it is preprogrammed into children in their early development?

GIVE ME A BREAK!

I don’t even feel as though I’m connected to a shred of reality anymore. It feels as though I’m going to wake up and this will all have been a bad dream. Insanity.

Oddly enough, for some children, white paper may be used to diagnose a dyslexia-like condition that can interfere with reading.

They actually get a “dazzle” effect from black text on white paper, so it is recommended that they be given green or blue paper, with contrasting text.

Fortunately the diagnosis is easy. Just give them one then give them the other. If they have problems reading the black text on white paper, give them the other one to read.

I don’t know if the same problem exists on computer, but that is even easier to fix by changing foreground and background colors.

I’m surprised that the left doesn’t want the public schools torn down. They’re so dangerous.

In the UK, imagine if a teacher had kids writing on blue paper with dark blue Stars of David on it. For purposes of diversity. End of that teacher’s job.
