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’.

“The grandson answered, “No, he’s more like a nice shade of chocolate.””
LOL!!!
“Sign a paper!!!???....”
Don’t you sign a confession form, for engaging in the crime of free enterprise capitalism, called the 104O from the IRS?
You now also have to sign a confession for engaging in the crime of individual free speech!
“It it also the name of the hotel group that owns Opryland.”
And that’s exactly what makes Gaylord a VERRY dirty word.

When I was 5, I encountered my first little black boy on a train near Chicago. I’d never seen any other kids who weren’t white up until that point.
“Gee, are you from Africa?” I asked.
“Naw, I’s from New Yawk!” was his response.
We had a great time together from that point forward.
Too bad we’ve spent so much time cultivating racial sensitivities since then. A society comprised of nothing but victims is doomed.
The Egyptians are Black. The Egyptians enslaved the Jews, as everybody knows. So, the Blacks owe the Jews reparations.
Several of my grandchildren are half black. Once my wife and I took one of them to the store. The cashier remarked that he was cute. I proceeded to tell her that my wife got “jungle fever” while I was deployed to Iraq. The cashier looked very uncomfortable. But not near as uncomfortable as my wife who began professing “No I didn’t. This is our grandson!” I just smiled and said, “If that’s what you want her to believe then OK.”
George Orwell knew his country better than he realized................scary.
It’s the UK, what do you expect? If a kid found a match and lit it he’d be branded an arsonist. The derangement syndrome is alive and well there. Must be the food.
“We had a great time together from that point forward.”
That is so often the result, event after an argument. Adults need to stay out of children’s lives if all they are peddling is politically correct rubbish.
so the UK is pretty messed up by the liberals too then I guess.

And you still live? Sir, surely you are formidable, and you must never sleep.
There was one black guy in my section. Not because of any conspiracy, or overt racism or general hatred of black people within the IT division. There just only happened to be one black guy within the three letter alphabet group my last name is in. That's all.
The HR idiot teaching the course, however, didn't see things this way and made quite a spectacle out of the guy. Held him up as a shining example to the rest of us, lesser, white IT folks.
Afterwards, I was eating lunch with him and few other people. He was so mad that he could barely speak. When I asked what he thought, he said (approximately)...
"Did you notice that I was the only black person in the room before that #%#%$##% (idiot liberal female) mentioned it?" (truthfully, I hadn't)
"Did you notice that I'm the only black person here at lunch here now?" (Truthfully, I had)
"I've worked for over 10 years here. Made a reputation for myself as good engineer. Now, after a couple of hours with that @#$#$%@#%@#%, I'm just "The Black Guy". "
And, he quit the next day. It was a real loss. Guy was really smart, a former nuclear engineer who worked because he wanted to and enjoyed designing Cisco networks as a hobby. Company paid him good money and sent him all over the world to do something that he'd probably happily have done for them, for free.
Never mind that indigenous black culture in Africa is being wiped out by Mustlms.
I distinctly remember the day our then 5 year old boy/girl twins were telling us about someone they had been playing with, using the child’s name. When we asked who that person was, they both described her as “the one with the brown face.” For them, skin color has always been a descriptive term, no different than hair or eye color.
For the boy in this story NOT to be inquisitive about why someone has a different skin color seems more worrisome than that he did ask.
Well, they might just have seen a revival of Showboat.
Are you still free if we have to fear or own words. That we might offend someone because we believe in a God. That we can't eat the foods we want because the overlords don't agree. That we don't want to pay a union in order to work. That we don't believe in the gay agenda. That we are proud of our Christian beliefs. That we believe that the government is by the people for the people.
Good for her
I was in a doctor’s waiting room with my three yr old when a black walked in, and she said “why are some chocolate?” We were immediate put at the front of the patient waiting list. Then she said “We are Banilla.” We got in to see the doctor immediately!
On that note, I recommend watching South African comedian Trevor Noah’s stand up on Leno. He’s pretty funny, and he goes after subjects that are very un-PC.
