A headteacher has defended her decision to investigate an allegation that a four-year-old boy was guilty of racism during a game of chase.
Anne Phipps acted after Rocky Smith spat at a 10-year-old black boy on the school’s playing field. She said she had no choice but to pursue the accusation
Rocky’s parents, Sarah, 35, and Iain Smith, 37, are demanding an apology from the school.
Mrs Smith said: “After it happened, I said to Rocky ‘what is a racist?’ and he said ‘it’s when you have races with your friends and the person who wins is it’.

21 October, 2007 at 9:38 am #291780Just another case of political correctness gone mad :roll:
The headmistress was probably covering her own ass in the event of a possible complaint from th 10 year olds parents. However, as no racial comments were made, i.e., verbally, I still can’t understand where she got the idea that anything racial had happened. Wonder if the same situation, in that case, would have happened, had it been the 10 yr old, spitting at the 4 year old,,,,,,,like I said PC gone mad. :roll:
22 October, 2007 at 3:01 pm #291781So I guess this would mean its ok to spit at white 10 year olds, just not black or asian ones lol
Thats the modern definition of “equality” then I suppose haha :lol: :lol:
22 October, 2007 at 3:18 pm #291782Problem there tho is that the human tree huggers rights starts where PC nonsense ends, the parents would probably have sued the school for denying the child his human right to spit at whoever he wants to spit at haha
And if they did try to punish the little brat for misbehaving he would have probably turned up at school with a minibus full of social workers there to explain why him not having an Xbox 360 last christmas means his misbehaving isnt really his fault coz hes really the “victim” in all this lol
On the bright side tho, I MIGHT wake up and find that the last 20 years have really been an alice in wonderland style dream I’ve had whilst in an LSD induced coma and that the country hasnt REALLY turned into the equivalent of a puss seeping kanker sore on the rectum of the planet
Heres hoping eh?
22 October, 2007 at 6:48 pm #291783Has anyone actually READ the story… or has everyone made up their minds on the spin.
A nursery school nurse had a chat with the two kids as one felt he had been singled out (for spitting at) because of his colour.
The nursery nurse found there was nothing but a naughty little four year old who now knows it bad to spit.
And thats it!! ffs, GET A LIFE!.
Its not the end of western civilisation… its a commonsense, fair approach which shows that spitting aint nice at all and shows a black kid that not everything that happens to him thats bad is because he’s black!
10/10 to the school for a commonsense approach to this situation which, as usual, the media portrays negatively and the bandwagon rolls on

Uber,,,,,,,,I wasn’t saying that the 4 yr old shouldn’t have been punished. He should have been told off about it, but to make such a thing of it and calling it racism is pure madness
