NatterJackToad Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/8786641/Dress-witches-in-pink-and-avoid-white-paper-to-prevent-racism-in-nuseries-expert-says.html From the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz to Meg, the good witch from the Meg and Mog children's books, witches have always dressed in black.But their traditional attire has now come in for criticism from equality experts who claim it could send a negative message to toddlers in nursery and lead to racism. Another staple of the classroom - white paper - has also been questioned by Anne O'Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity. Finally, staff should be prepared to be economical with the truth when asked by pupils what their favourite colour is and, in the interests of good race relations, answer "black" or "brown".The measures, outlined in a series of guides in Nursery World magazine, are aimed at avoiding racial bias in toddlers as young as two. the hatred these PeeCee do-gooders have for white people is amazing.

shipbuilder Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 All I see is both the journalist and 'equality expert' desperately trying to create work for themselves here and justify their jobs. Meanwhile in the real world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Monk Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I completely agree with her, I think the baddies in Cowboy & Western films should wear pink and white hats instead of the traditional black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I was shocked to day to hear on the news a reference to 'black' bins - in the great weekly bin collection debate - in my mentally challenged authority they refer to then as 'grey' bins. You can imagine the angst ridden discussion on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libspero Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 The amount of perverse social engineering we subject our children to these days is quite frightening. What happened to keeping everything the way it normally is in real life and just saying, "everyone play nicely" Or would that just be too easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thod Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 All I see is both the journalist and 'equality expert' desperately trying to create work for themselves here and justify their jobs. Like throwing money into black pink hole. But talking about pink holes is sexist. Perhaps a blue hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahBell Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I completely agree with her, I think the baddies in Cowboy & Western films should wear pink and white hats instead of the traditional black. They should only make weapons in pink. I have said this for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
