Thousands of pupils are being reported for so-called hate crimes after using innocuous words such as ‘Chinese boy’, ‘Somalian’ or ‘gay’.
Teachers also log insults like ‘doughnut’ and ‘fat bucket of KFC’. Even calling a pupil a ‘girl’ can be classified as abuse.But they surely lack the time for this, in between their endless holidays and their endless striking?
Records of a child’s ‘prejudice-related’ behaviour can be passed to their next school, potentially casting a shadow over their secondary education.If you think this is Orwellian, you aren't alone...
Josie Appleton, of the Manifesto Club, a civil liberties group, said: ‘Particularly worrying is the expansion of incident recording and reporting to ever-greater categories of prejudice, which seem limited only by the strange imagination of education officials.
‘One primary school pupil calling another a girl suddenly becomes a sign of gender image prejudice, subjected to recording requirements more thorough than accompanying most burglaries. A reality check is urgently required.’Sadly, reality will always lose out to progressive dogma.
But wait! Maybe I'm being too harsh? Maybe this is another case where they have no choice but to collect these sta...
Oh.
The Coalition government made clear that schools were no longer under obligation to submit these reports to LEAs and should exercise their own judgment in deciding whether to record.Well, Gove, I thought you were great in the Education role, but it seems you slipped up there when you naively decided to rely on this...

Seems to me, regardless of edicts from above, children will continue to be children. Surely this right on PC shit doesn't filter down until you are 18 or mid 20's for men. That said, most of us tend to consider it bollocks. Just because we acknowledge, doesn't mean we comply.
What is they always say “make them live by their own rules” and “punch back twice as hard”??
How about the kids start recording all those instances of teachers and administrators using blatantly politically biased, heterophobic, misandric language/topics/material, and that's not including the guaranteed many instances of gender (male anyway), racial (white), cultural (British), sexual (hetero) put-downs, deliberate misinterpretations, manipulations, blatant lies and stereotypes. (I spend at least an hour a day showing my son exactly how wrong whatever twaddle he has been indoctrinated at at school that day is).
Let's see just how long before the PC cretin diversity types disappear up their own fundament in horror at their own un-PCishness – nah! That would only happen if they were even vaguely honest, subjective, self-aware or even adult.
Sack the lot of them, root and branch, like social workers and the family court the school system is now irredeemably corrupted.
We should do what the frogs do (sorry, was that a racist slur?) with Brussels - just give a nod and then ignore them completely.
But then what would these people do for a job if they weren't thinking up nonsense?
"...that schools...should exercise their own judgment..."
What judgement?
I've seen precious little evidence of any over the last few years.
Flaxen is right (as usual):
Able's suggestion is a terrific one:
Dioclese is, as usual, the pragmatist.
I can't see that calling the Picts "Jocks", the French "Frogs" of the Huns "Krauts" is in any way racist: we're talking about nationalities, not races.
"Just because we acknowledge, doesn't mean we comply."
Indeed!
"Sack the lot of them, root and branch, like social workers and the family court the school system is now irredeemably corrupted."
It's an Augean stables, and we lack a Heracles... :/
"But then what would these people do for a job if they weren't thinking up nonsense?"
'Did you want fries with that, madam?'
"I can't see that calling the Picts "Jocks", the French "Frogs" of the Huns "Krauts" is in any way racist: we're talking about nationalities, not races."
Yup, it makes no sense. It isn't meant to. It's meant merely to silence.
