The Myth of Racist Kids

The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 made it law for schools to report ‘racist incidents’ to local authorities. A growing race relations industry has moved into schools, and even nurseries, to supposedly combat prejudice in children as young as three. In discussion with a studio audience, film-maker and anti-racist campaigner Adrian Hart argues the idea of racist kids is a myth and intervention can in fact create ethnic tensions. Should we leave the kids alone? Let us know what you think.

Interesting interview. Makes me think again as Adrian Hart said "live the children alone" , stop ruining their childhood by government criteria.

The playground world, it seems so long ago when I was in that world. How we were so gullible and had a little idea on what is going on, believing what we are told to believe. Saying things and never thinking about the actual consequences of our words. I have to admit I haven’t seem much racism bullying. I don't think children should be taught how to behave from the government policies but should be given guidance on what path to take. I never actually thought about the ulterior move regarding the policies from the government on anti-racism. Interesting point raised. Video has been very insightful.
