"Police in Gloucester, England, are cracking down on racism by entering restaurants in disguise to listen for bigoted conversation. In the first week of "Operation Napkin," one man was arrested for unacceptable table talk. Another was briefly detained for mimicking an Indian waiter, but was let go because police decided his behavior wasn't serious enough to warrant prosecution. Maybe children can help out the police by becoming amateur speech cops at home. Columnist John O'Sullivan, former editor of National Review, points out that an official 1999 British government report proposed criminalizing racist remarks made in the family home."
