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.
...Last year, it was revealed that teachers are branding thousands of children racist or homophobic following playground squabbles.
More than 20,000 pupils aged 11 or younger were put on record for so-called hate crimes such as using the word ‘gaylord’.

Sign a paper!!!???....
And the answer to the kid’s question is possibly: Yes. His classmate’s skin would be brown because his ancestors lived in Africa, or some other tropical area, for thousands of years, while the white kid’s ancestors lived in colder climates: adaptation to climatic conditions over thousands of years.
And the indoctrination continues.............until someone stands up and doesnt allow it to continue.
>>This incident was in the Ubnited Kingdom, not the USA.
While that is certainly true, if anyone thinks our Leftists aren’t taking us down the same road at every opportunity, they haven’t been paying attention.
>>What’s wrong with Gaylord, there’s a city in Michigan by that name....?
It it also the name of the hotel group that owns Opryland.
Teachers are branding thousands of children racist or homophobic following inquisitive questions.
PC re-education in action.Looks like a lawyer is going to make Hayley White a rich woman.
‘Ms. White’
There is your problem right there. That racist ‘White’ woman.
I wonder what they would have said if they would have overheard what I said to my mother while we were sitting at a lunch counter in the late 50’s? I asked her if the black man sitting next to us needed to wash his face to get the dirt off of it. My mother was horrified and apologized profusely to the man but it was hard to get her apology in between all of his laughter.
Going to pick up my girls from dance class, I was accosted by a mother (white lady with Peurto Rican husband), who wanted me to know that my daughter had asked her daughter is she was white or brown. Of course, she was quite upset about it.
All I did was call me daughter over to where I stood with the accusing woman and asked, “Tell me dear, what color are you?” to which she instantly replied, “Brown”.
I then turned to the woman and asked, “Anything else?” She looked very befuddled and left.
That’s the nuts and bolts of it, alright.
Only someone looking to “make somethin’ of it” would think that any such observation/question was “racist”.
The question he was asking was - “why is some people’s skin darker than others”, and this could have been easily answered with your explanation. Instead, since it was a “white” child that asked it, the question was “racist”.
If natural childhood curiosity is to be suppressed the result will be a generation of Drones.

I’ve posted one of those before, and they tend to get pulled. Personally, I think they are funny, much more than racist.
The Brits have lost it.
They are in the end game of cultural marxism and are what the “liberals” are working toward in the USA.
Funniest gifs I have ever seen. LOL
How could anyone interpret those as racist? They are a celebration of cultural diversity.
The food nazis are in the UK, also. They are the ones who started it first.
