Schoolchildren told they are RACISTS if they do not attend a workshop on ISLAM

Angry parents at the gate of the school after their children were threatened with being

labeled as racists if they didn’t attend a workshop in Islam

Forcing Christians to Learn Islam

Eight year olds will have a “racial discrimination note” placed

in their records if they refuse to learn about Islam.

British parents slammed a school after children as young as eight were told they would be punished for RACISM if they did not attend a religious workshop – on ISLAM.

Angry mums and dads were sent a letter by Littleton Green Community School, in Huntingdon, Staffs., warning their children would be considered racist if they did not go on the school trip.

The visit to Staffordshire University – for Year 4 and Year 6 pupils – had been arranged as part of the children’s “cultural education” on November 27 reports the South West News Service.

Headteacher Lynn Small wrote to parents and said if kids did not attend a “racial discrimination note” would be made on the pupil’s records and would remain there for their school careers.

On top of that, they were also ordered to pay £5 towards the cost of the trip.

Yesterday parents blasted the school’s “ludicrous” threats and accused the school of trying to blackmail them.

Stacy Waldron, 26, who has an eight-year-old daughter at the school, said: “I feel my child will be racist if I don’t allow her to go.

“This is my choice, not hers, and she shouldn’t have to pay for it.”

Mum-of-four Tracy Ward added: “I was shocked by the letter. To be told my kids have got to attend this workshop is disgusting.

“Everyone should have a choice but that’s my opinion and I don’t want a stain on my kids’ record as a result.

A text message sent to parents demanding

£5 for the Muslim school trip.

“They are not old enough to be called racist.”

Her sister Donna, whose daughter also attends the school, said: “It’s not our religion. We should have a right to stop our children going.”

Another parent Gillian Claridge, 55, added: “To be told we had to pay for the trip as well was just a kick in the teeth.

“How dare they threaten to brand the children racist at such a young age. Its going to make them feel like little criminals.

“The very nature of religion is all about choice – on this occasion they were not being given any choice at all.

“It was draconian move and its left a lot of parents fuming.”

But after parents contacted the school they were then forced to make an embarrassing U-turn and withdraw the threat after council chiefs intervened.

A letter from the head to parents on Thursday night apologised for “inaccuracies” in the previous correspondence.

In the letter Mrs Small asked parents to “on reflection disregard a section from the earlier letter”.

South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson slammed the original move –  labelling it “bonkers”.

He said: “The idea of attaching a ‘racial discrimination note’ to children’s education records saying it will remain on their file for the duration for their school career seems unfair, particularly when it is no the child’s decision whether or not he or she attends.

“It seems a very heavy-handed approach.”

Insanity - Having a "mean" looking Arab team mascot is racist

Idiot Alert!

• The Race Card!  A California high school is called racist for having a "mean" looking Arab as their sports mascot. 
• I guess depicting pride, strength and power in schools is old fashioned.  Much better for the students to be taught that weakness and cowering in fear of political corrected lawsuits is the way to live your life.

The pretend "civil rights" group, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, accused a Coachella Valley High School of stereotyping and demanded a name change.

The group also is seeking a change of the school mascot.

 

The group said it was "shocked to learn that the Arab" is the official mascot of the high school in Thermal.

 

 

"Continued use of the 'Arab' mascot perpetuates demeaning stereotypes of Arabs and Arab Americans," it said. "Coachella Valley High School's gross stereotyping cannot be tolerated," reports CNN News.

 

The school has a mascot that "depicts a man with a large nose, heavy beard, and wearing" a traditional head covering, the group said.

 

During halftime, "a female dressed as belly dancer entertains the mascot by dancing for him," it added.

 

But for the school, the mascot and cheerleaders shouting "Let's go, Arabs, let's go" are nothing new. The mascot dates back to the 1930s.

The Arab mascot recognizes the influences of the Middle East in the area's date farming, said Rich Ramirez, president of the Coachella Valley High School Alumni Association and a 1959 graduate of the high school.

 

In the early 1900s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture acquired date shoots from Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries and used them to establish date orchards in the valley's desert climate, Ramirez said.

 

Some of the valley's Arab-Americans -- largely of Lebanese background -- were involved in date farming, but they mostly ran men's apparel stores and groceries, Ramirez said.

 

Fucked no matter what you do.
Even when you try to honor a group the insane liberal fringe so-called "civil rights" groups crap on you and call you an evil racist.
.
Middle Eastern influences are reflected in community names of Mecca, Oasis and Arabia. The city of Coachella has street names of Damascus and Baghdad, and the valley's largest city, Indio, has a street named Deglet Noor, a date variety.

 

 

 

By 1921, the valley held its first date festival in Indio, and people who dressed in Arabian style were admitted free to the festival, he said. The Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival now attracts 300,000 people over 10 days every February, said Ramirez, a former board member of the Coachella Valley History Museum.

Middle Eastern influences are also reflected in community names of Mecca, Oasis and Arabia. The city of Coachella has street names of Damascus and Baghdad, and the valley's largest city, Indio, has a street named Deglet Noor, a date variety, Ramirez said.

 

By 1931, the high school adopted the mascot name of Arabs, replacing the informal names of "date pickers" or "farmers" inspired by the area's industry. It was a common way of nicknaming communities then, much like the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers, Ramirez said.

 

"We're proud of Arab tradition and Arab culture," Ramirez said.

 

The high school band and drill team dresses in Arab style, and a girl in a genie costume dances during football halftimes, Ramirez said.

Taxi driver called a "racist" for having an English flag

A World Gone Mad

Taxi driver banned from having St George's Cross

on cab for 'discrimination'

Leftist political correctness says that only minorities are allowed to be proud of their culture.  Everyone else with pride is a racist.

A taxi driver has been banned from having a St George’s Cross sticker in her cab – because it could discriminate against foreigners.

Patriotic Denise Said, 56, has three English flag signs stuck on the doors and boot of her vehicle.
.
But after one complaint from a rival cab firm she was stunned to receive a letter from the council accusing her of breaching equality laws.

Teignbridge Council in Devon said the stickers would leave anyone who is not English at a “disadvantage in their day to day life” reports the UK Express.

The local authority says it will refuse to renew Denise’s license in February unless she ditches the stickers.

But the veteran driver of Newton Abbott, Devon, has vowed to keep flying the flag and says there’s nothing offensive about them.

Furious Denise said: “I think it’s pathetic. I believe the council is implying that I am racist but nothing could be further from the truth.

“I’ve had a few foreign people in my cab and I’ve asked them if they find it offensive and they don’t in the slightest. In fact, one told me ‘your country has gone mad’.

"You only have to sneeze now for someone to find it offensive. I've asked a solicitor who says I'm not doing anything wrong.

"The upsetting thing is that I could lose my livelihood and my home if they take away my license." Denise has been displaying the St George's Crosses for a year without a single complaint before a rival reported her.

Playing The Race Card
Leftists play the race card in many countries.  If you dare believe that your nation, language, culture and religion have the right to exist then you are called a racist.  Only minorities have the right to be proud of their heritage.

"The upsetting thing is that I could lose my livelihood and my home if they take away my license." says Denise Said who has been displaying the St George's Crosses for a year without a single complaint before a rival reported her.

British too frightened to celebrate St. George's Day

The Death of the West, Part XIII

• Frightened of being called "racists" the British move away from the celebration of the national saint’s day because it could "upset" ethnic minority groups.

The think tank 'British Future' believes the English are “too nervous” to celebrate St George’s Day, after a poll found they were more likely to be able to correctly name the date of the US Independence Day and St Patrick’s Day than they are their own national saint’s day

The English are more likely to be able to correctly name the date of the US Independence Day and St Patrick’s Day than they are their own national saint’s day, a new poll has found.

The survey found only 40 per cent were able to identify St George’s Day as falling on April 23, compared with 71 who could give July 4 as the American national holiday and 42 per cent who knew that March 17 was the Irish one reports the UK Telegraph.

British Future, a think tank specializing in identity and integration which carried out the study, says the results suggest many English people are too “nervous” to celebrate St George’s Day.

It cites concerns among many that national symbols like the St George’s Cross flag may be interpreted as racist by others, and that celebration of the national saint’s day could upset ethnic minority groups.

It also accused politicians failing to “engage” with the concept of Englishness, to help to promote more pride in it.

Sunder Katwala, director of British Future, said: “Why shouldn’t we be able to celebrate Englishness? We’re all happy to come together as a nation when there’s football or cricket on, so why keep the flags in the drawer for the rest of the year?

“It’s a bit baffling that people in England will happily enjoy a pint of Guinness on St Patrick’s Day but then get nervous about celebrating St George’s Day too. We need to get over it and celebrate Englishness more."

Saint George
Lived approx. 275/281 – 23 April 303 AD.  Born in Lydda in Syria Palaestina, was a soldier in the Roman army later venerated as a Christian martyr. His father was Gerontius, an important official in the Roman army.
.
Saint George became an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian.  Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic (Western and Eastern Rites), Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon.  His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints.

School bans pork to avoid offending Muslims

School says "No Bacon!"

So-called "educators" are some of the most stupid,

politically correct people in America.

The Islamic Food Police  -  Every mistake Europe made, we are repeating. Why would a Tennessee school do such a thing? If Muslims don't want to eat pork, that's fine. But why must others adhere to their supremacist ideology?

The school didn't say it was to avoid offending Muslims. They said it was about avoiding food allergies. But as one parent noted, "I’ve never heard of a life-threatening pork allergy."

A Tennessee elementary school banned students from eating ham sandwiches, BLT’s and anything else made with pork, but eventually lifted the ban after parents complained.

Third grade teachers at Sunset Elementary School in Brentwood, Tenn. sent home an “Approved Snack List” for the school year and it specifically banned anything that comes from a pig.

“No meats containing pork,” read the memorandum. “Starting Monday, August 12, 2013 your child must provide their own snack from the above approved snack list.”

Kids could nosh on raw vegetables without dips or sauces, fresh fruit, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn – but no ribs or pork rinds reports Fox News.

“Only choose a food from the following list to bring into school for snack,” the memorandum stated in bold-face type. “No other food items are permitted.”

One day after the pork ban went into effect, Williamson County Schools posted a message on their Facebook page telling parents to ignore the rules.

“Schools should only be offering suggested snack choices, and that information will be sent home only if your child is in a classroom where there is a food allergy,” the district stated. “Any reference to not allowing pork products in school is incorrect. Please disregard.”

The district said the point of the memorandum was to address food allergies and approved snack lists.
.
The memorandum did not explain why the school had become a pork-free zone, leading to lots of confusion among parents.

“I’ve never heard of a life-threatening pork allergy,” one parent wrote on Facebook.

The no-pork rule generated lots of conversation on Nashville’s talk radio stations and a number of callers and several hosts wondered if it had something to do with students who might be Muslim.
.
“Typical list for a Madrassa,” wrote Nashville radio host Michael DelGiorno on his Facebook page.

"Brown Bag Lunch" is banned by Libs as Racist

Retard Alert!

Democrat Seattle says "Brown Bag" lunches are racist and

should be re-named "Lunch & Learn Bags".

Folks, we have passed over into the Liberal Fascist Twilight Zone.

Government workers in the Leftist City of Seattle have been advised that the terms "citizen" and "brown bag" are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.

KOMO-TV reports that the city's Office of Civil Rights instructed city workers in a recent internal memo to avoid using the words because some may find them offensive.

"Luckily, we've got options," Comrade Elliott Bronstein of the Office for Civil Rights wrote in the memo obtained by the station. "For 'citizens,' how about 'residents?'" reports Fox News.
.

In an interview with Seattle's KIRO Radio, Bronstein said the term "brown bag" has been used historically as a way to judge skin color.

"For a lot of particularly African-American community members, the phrase brown bag does bring up associations with the past when a brown bag was actually used, I understand, to determine if people's skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or to come into a party that was being held in a private home," Bronstein said.

According to the memo, city employees should use the terms "lunch-and-learn" or "sack lunch" instead of "brown bag."

Bronstein told KIRO Radio the word "citizen" should be avoided because many people who live in Seattle are residents, not citizens.

"They are legal residents of the United States and they are residents of Seattle. They pay taxes and if we use a term like citizens in common use, then it doesn't include a lot of folks," Bronstein said.

Seattle, however, isn't the only city with an eye on potentially disruptive words.

The New York Post reported in March 2012 that the city’s Department of Education avoids references to words like “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests because they could evoke “unpleasant emotions” among the students.

You have entered the Liberal Twilight Zone

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

OBAMA: HONOR TRAYVON WITH GUN-CONTROL


By Gary;

I could care less about Zimmerman or Martin.  Frankly, like all of us, I have my own troubles to worry about.

What I find interesting is the Racial Witch Hunt created by the Leftist lap-dog Media looking for ratings, race baiters looking for donations and Democrat political hacks pandering to the low IQ mouth-breathers for votes.

The fact of the matter is thousands of people are killed every year by accident or otherwise.  That is why court systems exist.  But calm, cool, level headed trials do not make money or generate votes for the Media-Racism-Politician Industry.

George Zimmerman may have been acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, but the Media-Racism Industry is not through with him yet.  There is much more money to be made and votes to round up.

The next step is Zimmerman going through double jeopardy and and defending himself against charges from Comrade Obama'a Federal government and a civil case will no doubt come.

Leftists are pressuring the Justice Department to step in and bring a Federal civil rights case against Zimmerman, the Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer.

You can expect this endless horror of race bating to be stretched out till the 2014 elections are over.

After all, you really did not think this was about justice did you?

Teachers deny boy water to avoid upsetting Muslims

Islam says no water for you.

Just when you think things can’t any more ridiculous in the UK.

An angry mother has accused a primary school of denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the year for fear of upsetting Muslims observing Ramadan.

Kora Blagden, 32, claimed a teacher at her son Luke’s school refused to let the 10-year old drink from his water bottle because it was unfair to fasting classmates.

Many pupils at Charles Dickens Primary School, Portsmouth, Hampshire, are fasting during Ramadan, which means they refrain from taking food or water between sunrise and sunset for around 30 days, depending on the moon reports the UK Daily Mail.

Luke (on left) was not allowed
to drink water on a hot day
because it might upset Muslims.

Mother-of-four Kora said: ‘Just before bedtime me and my sons Luke, ten, and Alfie, eight, were talking about Ramadan as we had seen it on the news.

‘Luke said to me he was told he wasn’t allowed to drink in class by his teacher.

‘The reason being, a child who is fasting had a headache and the teacher said it would be unfair if the other children drank in front of the pupil.'

'They normally have their bottles on their table but they were kept in a tray by the teacher.

'He went along with it but he was thirsty and didn’t want to offend the other children.
.
'Alfie said he was allowed to drink in the morning but not in the afternoon.

'Luke was dehydrated when he got home and drunk three glasses of water straight away.'

Charles Dickens is an inner-city school just streets away from the birthplace of the world-famous author of the same name.
.
The school said there was no ban on children from other religions having food and drink during Ramadan but refused to comment on this individual case.
.
Portsmouth City Council, which runs the 300-pupil school, also declined to comment.

Water offends Allah
