Toddlers should be taught about racism and singled out for criticism if they have racist attitudes…

...Children might also ‘react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying ‘yuk’“.
This may mean ... “a reaction to a food associated with people from a particular ethnic or cultural community."...Nurseries are encouraged to report as many racist incidents as possible to local councils.
The guidance said that anyone who disagrees is racist themselves.
Hope springs eternal:
‘It is regulation of private speech and thought. They intend nursery staff to step into children’s playground squabbles and then report them to the local council as race incidents. Who would ever have thought that the anti-racism crusade would go so far?’ ...Author and researcher on family life Patricia Morgan said.
YUK!
This is Formerly Great Britain; the one Orwell warned them about.
