I started several posts about this, but got lost along the way in the sheer stupidity of the whole exercise.
Read the article, if you can coherently post your feelings, because I can’t, I’d love to read it. All I’m going to do just add a few comments of my own to certain bits.
A growing army of diversity 'missionaries' who scrutinise children's relationships
WTF is a ‘Diversity Missionary’ I don’t read The Guardian so probably haven’t seen this job advertised.
Where do they come from? Who gave then access to schools?
Now I know where the professionally offended go during work time.
'But most of these 'racist incidents' are just kids falling out. They don't need re-educating out of their prejudice - they and their teachers need to be left alone.'
No, children don’t have prejudice, they have to be taught that, and that’s what you’re doing.
One teacher told researchers that anti-racist interventions had led to 'an absolutely awful atmosphere around the school'.
No shit Sherlock
'Children who used to play beautifully together are starting to separate along racial lines,' the teacher said.
And again, as with so much delivered in the last 12 year The Law of Unintended Consequences bites us hard on the ass.
Although I’m sure the ‘Diversity Missionaries’ will just declaim that it proves their point that we are all ‘racist’.
.
If only it were dealing with 'unintended consequences'.
ReplyDeleteIt's more like 'hideously achieving the exact opposite of the stated intention, even on the rare occasions they were sincere and well-meaning'.
