3-Year-Olds Branded “Racist,” “Homophobic” Put In Government Database

  Over 30,000 British schoolchildren, some as young as three, have had their names registered on a government database and branded “racist” or “homophobic” for using playground insults, infractions that could impact their future careers.
  
  The shocking figures were disclosed after civil liberties group the Manifesto Club made a Freedom of Information Act request which betrayed the fact that kids who used petty jibes are now being treated as thought criminals by education authorities.
  
  34,000 incidents of “racism” in total were reported for the year 2009-2010, with nursery school toddlers as young as three being put on a state database for using the words “gay” and “lesbian”. One child who called another “broccoli head” was also reported to authorities. Other cases included a child who used the word “gaylord,” while another who told a teacher “this work is gay,” was also added to the thought crime database.
  
  The majority of the reported cases involved primary school children.
  
  “The record can be passed from primaries to secondaries or when a pupil moves between schools,” reports the Daily Mail.
  
  “And if schools are asked for a pupil reference by a future employer or a university, the record could be used as the basis for it, meaning the pettiest of incidents has the potential to blight a child for life.”
  
  Schools are being pressured to report such incidents to authorities and face punishments for not doing so under anti-bullying policies.
  
  This is a clear example of how hate crime laws have brazenly been hijacked by the state to get children institutionalized on criminal databases at an early age. This is about the state dictating what your child can think and say – it’s the thought police on steroids.
  
  Orwell talked about the state reducing language via Newspeak in his book 1984. By eliminating the very words that come out of children’s mouths and punishing them for thinking certain thoughts, all critical thinking is ultimately abolished, and Big Brother assumes the supreme power to dictate reality – a dictatorship over our very minds.

  This is so stupid. There are non-homophobic uses for the words "gay" and "lesbian"; you can't even say what LGBT stands for without them. Depending on the context "Gaylord" should be okay as well. It is a name after all, from the French "Gaillard". I can only guess at what is supposed to be offensive about "broccoli head", but in it I can also see a child trying to describe what they see based on what they are familiar with. Would it be better if they said "****head" instead, since it isn't associated with homophobia nor racism?
  
  I have to laugh at the possibility of such name-calling ruining kids' chances at getting a job or being accepted into college. Any institution that would deny a person's admission based on such silly actions that they took when they were 5 years old is probably far too pretentious to bother with.

  I'm pretty sure he means the government database stuff, not the fact that children fire derogatory terms faster than an assault rifle in CoD.

  And yet words like "retarded" have been used to express anything someone dislikes.

  Oh good lord..
  
  The kids are far too young to /actually/ know what they're saying and therefore can't be held accountable for their actions. It's the parents fault for teaching their kids (or not teaching them) to use the words and THEY should be punished, if anyone.
  
  Such a retarded planet we live on.
