I suppose I should start wearing black socks as to not offend anyone! This has to be a joke. If its not here is a very large dose of stupidity by the people who actually believe this garbage! I have 3 children (11, 9 & 7) they have used white paper to write on there whole lives.... They also wear white socks and mostly white underwear. The diapers they wore before they were potty trained were white also. The toilet paper they use is white. A lot of the clouds in the sky are white. I have white around the pupils in my eye... YET, SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, MY KIDS DONT HAVE A RACIST BONE IN THERE BODY!! Why not try something that actually works like, teaching parents how to get involved with there children as well as teaching them right from wrong. I would bet my life that 99.9 % of the racist population out there was taught this directly from there parents or someone with close ties to their family!! Yes you read that correct, racism is learned from someone not something. The thought that a child that becomes racist from using a piece of white paper is not only a totally stupid idea but completely illogical. That likes saying a child will start wetting the bed because you made him sleep in a room kid that still does... I mean come one... How do people as completely inept as well as just plain dumb get to a position of importance like this. THEY’VE LOST THEIR MIND: ‘Diversity Consultant’ Says White Paper May Make Students Racist By Clash Daily / 11 November 2013 / 72 Comments white-paper From the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz to Meg, the good witch from the Meg and Mog children’s books, witches have always dressed in black. But their traditional attire has now come in for criticism from equality experts who claim it could send a negative message to toddlers in nursery and lead to racism. Instead, teachers should censor the toy box and replace the pointy black hat with a pink one, while dressing fairies, generally resplendent in pale pastels, in darker shades. Another staple of the classroom – white paper – has also been questioned by Anne O’Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity. Children should be provided with paper other than white to drawn on and paints and crayons should come in “the full range of flesh tones”, reflecting the diversity of the human race, according to the former teacher. Finally, staff should be prepared to be economical with the truth when asked by pupils what their favourite colour is and, in the interests of good race relations, answer “black” or “brown”. The measures, outlined in a series of guides in Nursery World magazine, are aimed at avoiding racial bias in toddlers as young as two. According to the guides, very young children may begin to express negative and discriminatory views about skin colour and appearance that nursery staff must help them “unlearn”. If children develop positive associations with dark colours, the greater the likelihood that the attitude will be generalised to people, it says. The advice is based on an “anti-bias” approach to education which developed in the United States as part of multiculturalism.
