Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.
The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.
This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.
The guidance by the NCB is designed to draw attention to potentially-racist attitudes in youngsters from a young age.
It alerts playgroup leaders that even babies can not be ignored in the drive to root out prejudice as they can "recognise different people in their lives".
The 366-page guide for staff in charge of pre-school children, called Young Children and Racial Justice, warns: "Racist incidents among children in early years settings tend to be around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships."
It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".

So, what do you call a Muslim kid who won’t eat pork?
I can ALWAYS tell if something has curry in it. It will spend about 35 seconds in my stomach and then exit, in a very dramatic way.
Any British cousins hereabouts that might know?
Good heavens! What about LUTEFISKE?!?!?!?!?!..........
The sheer silliness of this kind of thing is dangerous, obviously. When a majority is subjected to incompetence, economic downturn, and petty oppression that all can point to as common experience, it's a wider and wider opportunity for a charismatic leader who offers to tear up the map and start over. It could be someone good who seizes control, or someone bad.
When that happens, the butcher's bill could be huge.
This has to be a joke???
Does this apply to kids who won’t eat pork?
This is a joke right?
Putting Corporate Parenting into Practice Developing an effective approach - a toolkit for councils
Di Hart and Alison Williams
Within the renewed emphasis on improved outcomes for all children brought about by Every Child Matters, there is a recognition that particular attention needs to be paid to those who are looked after. The government initiative, Care Matters, aims to ensure that the state's responsibility to be an effective corporate parent is fulfilled. Each local authority must re-invigorate the way that it meets the needs of children in its care, to ensure that they are not just cared for, but cared about.
The corporate parenting toolkit provides practical support to those with responsibility for services to looked after children and care leavers across the council and partner agencies. The resources can be used by councils developing training programmes, including the training of councillors, and in reviewing and developing the council's corporate parenting arrangements.

No more stupid than the PC crap we have in this country right now. Hell they are even taking down blog’s that say anything amiss about the magic negro, it gets worse by the minute.
Mohammed?
I remember seeing a poll on how most Britons don’t agree with this garbage. But they keep voting these people in.
Political correctness is the enemy of truth.
Will those govt-raised toddlers be held accountable if they refuse to eat bacon? Enquiring minds want to know..
Does anybody recall that movie “A Clockwork Orange”?

What about children who react negatively to their parents being beheaded? Will “the staff” wish them in to the corn field.
