OK, I have a new “stupidest thing I’ve heard all day” report. The passenger zapper from earlier pales in comparison to this insanity:
The National Children’s Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.
This could include a child of as young as three who says “yuk” in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.
The mind boggles.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yeah, I saw this one also.
The child should say the food is a obscure Mongolian dish that is indeed called “Yuk” in its native land.
He should then inform the teacher that is a real delicacy…and the fermented yak testicles it is made with are sure to bring strength to all those who eat it.
Heck, in my school I said “yuk” to all the food – with good reason…
As to the story – another consequence of the ‘Politically Correct’ idea that words are bad, not just intentions or actions.
How the west was lost…
this “Political correctness” stuff gets out of Control…
