He wasn't branded by teachers. He was branded by a policy. Blame the policy makers.

Policy - Who are the initial Ffups that initiated action and implemented and interpreted Policy in this case???? Then these self same FFups branded a 7 yr old as making a racist statement.

I can tell shxt from shinola.

It was not a policy book was it that hopped off the shelf was it??

Employees are expected to follow policy. Whether it makes sense or not is irrelevant.

As was previously explained to you, the policy has a mechanism, by which the faculty has the power to determine what is or isn't racism.

Shall I bring up your obvious memory issues and the fact that you believe that is a sign that you need to see a Doctor?

Hayley needs to get over it. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. She's part of the annoying new PC crowd - whine about everything PC and be the PC victim.
Seemed more like it was the school making it a big deal than the mother, IMO.

Schools do phone parents and meet with them once in a while. The school acknowledged that all was ok. She's concerned about him being "branded", why is she parading him through the media with the story?
She was told on the phone that her kid was the center of a racial incident. All he did was ask another kid if they were from Africa. Kids are curious. If the matter was harmless, the school could have told her that to begin with.

Are they white because they come from Texas?
Perhaps you could make a career out of teaching 7 yr olds how to ask questions in politically correct language?

I understand that you tried to explain it but you failed miserable. That is because the faculty does not have the power to define racism. You are wrong. Explain it as much as you want. You will still be wrong.

Like I said, there is a mechanism, left in their hands.

If it is not judged to be a racist incident this would need to be
explained to the parties involved, though the incident might still
remain as another kind of infringement of the school's behaviour
policy which needs a response.

I'm sure your admitted stupidity is what caused you to come to such an idiotic conclusion.

Feel free to apply all your usual fallacies as you dance around reality.

Hayley is right. I'd complain too if I had a child and they were forced by their school to sign a form saying that they are racist even though the child is just 7 years old and doesn't know any different. I think it's disgusting.

But, sadly, these sorts of things happens when a country becomes under the control of left-wing authorities.

I think Hayley should even try and sue the school.
