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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. How the west was lost…

  4. this “Political correctness” stuff gets out of Control…
