Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

I've heard it all now! Angry

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/education/2261307/Toddlers-who-dislike-spicy-food-racist,-say-report.html

I don't buy it - i think the Telegraph is putting as much a right wing spin on this as the report is left wing daftness.

All the actual quotes from the report make sense:

It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".

Sounds fair enough. If my kids said that they'd be grounded a month.

The guide goes on to warn that children might also "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuk'".

OK...is it saying that we should expose them to this or saying these are racist toddlers? The paper implies the latter but i'd be interested in seeing that in black and white.

Staff are told: "No racist incident should be ignored. When there is a clear racist incident, it is necessary to be specific in condemning the action."

Sounds fine again...although i wonder if it appears in the report right after the "yuk" as the paper has placed it????
