To me, racism, homophobia - any type of discrimination is just really 'silly' for want of a much better word, as I just personally take people as I find them.

I guess it's a case of being able to show that all bases are covered isn't it ?

Whilst this can be important at times, even essential, it shouldn't always be the case. A teacher can no longer record a professional opinion without justification, many examples which I blogged about a while back http://musingssahm.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/science-of-childcare-scourge-of-modern.html#.UtLat3kqjIo Challenging is good sometimes, but we are losing the ability to make a statement and have it accepted appropriately!Twinsplustwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647701493165196509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8255954795850538775.post-15235838991571666142014-01-12T16:41:00.959+00:002014-01-12T16:41:00.959+00:00Thank you.

In fact, I think actions speak much louder than words really for these things. I know people who are very quick to come and speak about how racism is wrong but at other times they will let their prejudices come out - because what they actually mean is that they don't like others to be racist towards them, but when they turn it round then that is "ok" apparently?! How come you were asked to prove it?annahttp://intheplayroom.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
