School Tells Mom to Declare Son ‘Racist’ After He Asks Classmate ‘Are You Brown Because You Come From Africa?’

A mother in the UK is furious after her son’s school asked her to sign a slip acknowledging her son made a racist remark after it (the school) interpreted a question by the boy on the playground as a “racist incident.”
Hayley White, 29, says she was called to her son’s school in Hull after he apparently asked a classmate, “Are you brown because you come from Africa?” The school believes the question by seven-year-old Elliot Dearlove wasn’t innocent.
“When I arrived at the school and asked Elliott what had happened, he became extremely upset,” White said, according to the Daily Mail.
“He kept saying to me, ‘I was just asking a question. I didn’t mean it to be nasty’ and he was extremely distressed by it all.”
White said she was asked to read a copy of the school’s zero-tolerance policy on racism, then told to sign a sheet of paper declaring her son was guilty of such an act.
“I was told I would have to sign a form acknowledging my son had made a racist remark which would be submitted to the local education authority for further investigation,” she said.
“I refused to sign it and I told the teacher in no way did I agree the comment was racist. My son is inquisitive. He always likes to ask questions, but that doesn’t make him a racist.”
The local city council, however, is standing by the school. “There is a statutory duty to report any incident that is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
Today, the mother of the other boy involved in the incident is speaking out, too. Nicola Allen is firing back that she never branded Elliot a racist, and feels she’s being falsely accused of being behind the frenzy:
She said: “I don’t want people going round saying I called that little boy racist.
“This is extremely distressing for me and my family.”
Miss Allen said the row dated back to October when her son, who is of mixed race, came home from school upset saying another pupil had been asking if he was from Africa.
She said: “I sat him down and explained that he wasn’t.
“I asked why he had asked this and his reply was that an older boy had said he was because he was brown.
“I was born in east Hull, I went to Griffin Primary School and he was born in east Hull, and as far as I’m concerned, we could not be more east Hull if we tried.
“Initially, I tried to brush the comment aside but it happened again.
“It was distressing.
“Eventually, I spoke to his teacher about it, I asked if they could speak to the other child and explain to him he was not African.
“I want to stress most vehemently at no time have I ever accused this child of racism.
White is now trying to get her son transferred out of the school.
The local member of parliament, Karl Turner, believes that “common sense” should make it obvious the boy wasn’t being racist.
“[H]aving spoken to Hayley, I’m satisfied that her seven-year-old son, Elliott, was not being racist in his remarks but just inquisitive,” he said, according to the Daily Mail.
“It seems the matter has been taken out of all proportion and common sense seems to have gone completely out of the window.”
Common sense, though, doesn’t seem to reign when it comes to allegedly racist incidents in UK schools. The Daily Mail reports that, just last year alone, more than 20,000 students aged 11 or younger were reported for hate crimes, which included such acts as using the word “gaylord.”

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 8:01amActually it is our fault. We put a so called black president (1/2 white) in to office at our White House.
Report Post »We then sat back and let him and his party start calling everyone racists if they disagreed with him.
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We elected him and he turned on us. IF he thinks he became president only cause blacks voted for him….then he is dilusional. Time for ALL American to retire him from office. This is one black man I do not trust…………………I like Herman Cain even thought he likes women too much……………so what does that make me………….a racist……….NOT

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 9:15amThe self-appointed elitist multicults know that it is absolutely imperative to keep a tight lid on any kind of speech they feel threatens their view of a utopian paradise, because, like all totalitarianis, it must be carefully controlled at all times or the entire manufactured scenario will blow up in their faces as it erupts into large scale tribal conflicts.
Two main factors are accountable for the forced multiculturalization of Western societies: 1) In order to keep their power and greed fed and to gurantee “growth” to support those purposes, the elites in the private and public sector schemed to “import” thousands of tax units and consumers to their Western countries. In the US it was for the purposes of continuing the economic growth already in place; In the UK it was to create a super state that would rival the US in economic power; 2) The large faction of love and tolerance fools want multiculturalism, because they have mental disorders and want the entire globe to be one happy community where everybody holds hands, drinks a coke and sings in perfect harmony.
A third factor, but of less influence, is an economic powerful group that believes creating a fractious society will lessen the chances for nationalism which thery feel is responsible for the last Holocaust.
So, there, in a nutshell, is why this little boy was not allowed to say anything the elites think might bring their concocted social scenario right down on their pointy heads.

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 9:16amIt’s all about the minority controlling the majority. Hate speech is nothing more than that, because the use of guilt has run its course. Generalizations about race and ethnicity can, in fact, be determined. Differences in cultures do, in fact, exist.
Report Post »When a minority group desires to hide these facts, they do so under the invented veil of hate speech, racism, antisemitism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, on and on. What you never hear are the opposites of these words, and every conceptual word has an opposite.

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 11:01amThats all very well and commendable of you, but you know that your brothers and sisters in the black community (can I say it that way without being called a racist) are going to vote once again based on race, others will not admit it and say he is doing an excellent job which will cause one to automatically have to go back to the first premise. Yes it is the fault of us all for also putting forward the wrong candidate to challenge Dear Leader in the first place. The Jewish community also voted overwhelmingly for the man as well, same with Latinos and White women.
But anyways, this is a story about a we lad from the Queens Kingdom. He is clearly not being racist by asking a question…if there is anymore to the story that follows up as a track record then maybe it is the case, but they’ve not submitted any such info.
My question is what people are viewed as racist….ya know, what color are they? Because we all know that its only a certain type of skin pigment that is embedded with racist notions.
When racism is demonstarted by brown people on black people or white people, will they (the White school admin) act? Or will they simply say he/she was provoked into making such statements based on perceived slights as in not getting picked for pick-up rugby game or when several students leave the lunch table when he/she sits down?

“I don’t happen to think that in a free society everyone should retreat into their own ideological bubbles.”
He said, writing from his own ideological bubble in which he failed to see the hypocrisy of his statements.
Anything you can’t stand to read you compartmentalize into a category that allows you to both separate yourself from it and denigrate the issue or issues at the same time.
Your world of prancing ponies disallows you the advantage of viewing the world and it’s actors in a realistic light.
“No one here was talking about Greece! ”
I was.
You, like many leftist freaks, have concocted your own reality. It consists not only of prancing ponies but of flying pixies too. If an issue is offerred that is based in facts, but you are frightened of it or it doesn’t resonate with your world within a protected bubble, it is dismissed by you as inaccurate or not authentic.

Whether this incident with the boy above occurred in the UK or the US is immaterial since both societies are being influenced by the same ideology and both will see their leftist dregs quieted when Greece and the EU fall.

Everything I wrote is not only based in real world facts, but is a common analysis by every expert in the world worth his salt. Instead of responding to the substance of the issue, which is supported by Stratfor’s Peter Ziehan in the link to the Fox video, you’re pretending as if my points are invalid and that they come from a desire to promote conclusions not based in facts and are flights of fantasy.
You do that for many reasons: You can’t understand business matters or matters of global political significance so consequently you reject them.

I too am voting for Paul. However Cain would have NEVER received my vote. Of course neither will Santorum, Romney, or Gingrich. It would simply put a new face to the Obama administration. As far as that goes, Hillary is the ONE person I personally believe would be worse than Obama.
With that said, these bumper stickers I’m seeing that read, “ANY REPUBLICAN is better than Obama” is dead wrong.
In my 52 years I’ve learned more than a few lessons the hard way. One is the biggest is….
“When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you’re still voting for evil.”
Cain, just like all the rest can say anything he wants to, but that doesn’t make it the truth. What Paul is saying he’s been saying for 25 years. In 2000 I wasn’t read to hear it, but my eyes have been opened to the evil that is Washington. Evil doesn’t care if there is a D or an R by its name. Any candidate that puts party first is owned. They’ve sold their soul.
Obama sold his soul long before he charmed his way into the white house. Add to that, I don’t believe that snake is loyal to Islam. That snake (IMHO) is simply a godless man that’s willing to be whatever religion you want him to be in order to get your vote and your money.

If we are ever going to have our utopia, we need to track down all of these “Whites” and send them to a Siberian Gulag. “White” people have no place asking these thinly veiled racist questions of those who have more pigmentation. Thank God for the British PC Police who got to this skinhead just in time. If they hadn’t gotten this situation under control, this “White” boy might have asked the other kid if he liked chicken, another obvious sign of racial bias.

Posted on February 26, 2012 at 10:55pmIn modern-day parlance, “racist” simply means a White person. Since the jewsmedia calls every White person a “racist” (even racial turncoats like leftwinger Bill Clinton), the word “racist” is nowadays nothing more than a slur against all Caucasians. Makes it kinda difficult for real ‘racists’ like myself to distinguish ourselves.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 8:24amPublius, this story is noteworthy because the progressives in England have pushed that country to a place the progressives here are aiming for. 20000 hate criminals under the age of 11? What do you want to bet that 19999 or more of them are white? This is just more proof that progressives start their indoctrination as early as possible.

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 4:57pmOf Course! How could I not see it. Obama became president to create racism in primary schools in the UK. Its so obvious. Quick guys, tell everyone you know so they can see how clever and witty you are for figuring out the root of ALL evil, but you have to stress how crazy you aren’t, because anyone who doesn’t immediately understand how Obama causes schools in the UK to over react to a 7 year old child being stupid must be a mental invalid or a communist (but whats the difference :D) and either way should be shot because they are probably trying to legalize 187th trimester abortions.
Or, I guess this could be an independent event with no relation to anyone or anything in the USA. But that can’t be right because that would mean a lot of us are either paranoid or stupid. And I know for a fact that isn’t right. So it must be that first thing. Glad that’s all cleared up.
Now where were we? Oh yeah. Barack Obama is Satan. Spread the word brothers and sisters!

Host countries around the world have bent over backwards to accommodate the cultures and customs of foreign immigrants… Perhaps these new immigrants could show a little respect for their host countries as well?

If they keep putting up with moslum nonsense, the Brits will be riding and feeding camels within a few years. Concerning an innocent question from a seven year old child, I would question if the teacher was a racist because the child asking the question was white. If the child in question was oriental, no one would have any problems with a child asking if the oriental was from Japan or China. One would think the child “brilliant” for making the connection especially at the age of 7 ! But no, if the skin color is any shade of black or brown, people jump off the wall into the sea of racism.
