The mother of a seven-year-old boy was told to sign a school form admitting he was racist after he asked another pupil about the colour of his skin.
Elliott Dearlove had asked a five-year-old boy in the playground whether he was ‘brown because he was from Africa’.
His mother, Hayley White, 29, said she received a phone call last month to say her son had been at the centre of a ‘racist incident’.
She was then summoned to a meeting with Elliott, his teacher and the deputy head of Griffin Primary School in Hull.
Ms White, an NHS healthcare assistant, said: ‘When I arrived at the school and asked Elliott what had happened, he became extremely upset.
'He kept saying to me, “I was just asking a question. I didn’t mean it to be nasty” and he was extremely distressed by it all.’
Ms White claimed she was asked at the meeting to read a copy of the school rules and in particular its zero-tolerance policy on racism.
‘I was told I would have to sign a form acknowledging my son had made a racist remark which would be submitted to the local education authority for further investigation,’ she said.
‘I refused to sign it and I told the teacher in no way did I agree the comment was racist. My son is inquisitive. He always likes to ask questions, but that doesn’t make him a racist.’
The school had launched an investigation after the younger boy told his mother about Elliott’s comment and she complained.

I never dreamed that they had a form to say a child was racist.

Where was all this pent up racial frustration when we had a white president?

Burning bridges NOT a good idea.
Fools in charge.
This incident was in the Ubnited Kingdom, not the USA.
“...lyin’ to the races...”
I was told a story about an incident involving the four year old grandson of an acquaintance of mine. Her grandson was telling her all about Mathhew, his friend from his pre-school. Something about what he said clued grandma that mathhew might be African- American, so she asked if Matthew was black. The grandson answered, “No, he’s more like a nice shade of chocolate.”
Is this racism?
What's wrong with Gaylord, there's a city in Michigan by that name....?
Sticks and stones will break your bones but name calling will resort in your life being destroyed and long prison terms for you, your family and your friends.
