A baked chocolate dessert is known as a “brownie” in the English language. But the next time you eat one of these baked goods, you should probably not refer to it by its name. If you do, say it in a whisper, because you might hurt someone’s feelings.
Liberals now consider the word “brownie” derogatory and racist.
When a 9-year-old child started talking about the brownies being served during an end-of-the-year party at his New Jersey elementary school, it was considered racist by another student and the cops were called in to investigate.
This major overreaction was a result of new policies enacted at the school where any incident that could be considered criminal must be reported to the police and that includes name-calling, according to the local chief.
In a report by Philly.com:
On June 16, police were called to an unlikely scene: an end-of-the-year class party at the William P. Tatem Elementary School in Collingswood.
A third-grader had made a comment about the brownies being served to the class. After another student exclaimed that the remark was “racist,” the school called the Collingswood Police Department, according to the mother of the boy who made the comment.
The police officer spoke to the student, who is 9, said the boy’s mother, Stacy dos Santos, and local authorities.
Dos Santos said that the school overreacted and that her son made a comment about snacks, not skin color.
“He said they were talking about brownies. . . . Who exactly did he offend?” dos Santos said.
The boy’s father was contacted by Collingswood police later in the day. Police said the incident had been referred to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency. The student stayed home for his last day of third grade.
Dos Santos said that her son was “traumatized,” and that she hopes to send him to a different Collingswood public school in the fall.
And she wants an apology. She said she graduated from Collingswood High School and has two other children, a 21-year-old who also went through Collingswood schools, and a 3-year-old. Her husband, the third grader’s father, is Brazilian, dos Santos said.
“I’m not comfortable with the administration [at Tatem]. I don’t trust them and neither does my child,” she said. “He was intimidated, obviously. There was a police officer with a gun in the holster talking to my son, saying, ‘Tell me what you said.’ He didn’t have anybody on his side.”
Insanity has taken over our country.
What makes this story even more troubling is why the police never reprimanded the adults at the school for calling them.
It is most certainly wrong to call another a racist name, but since when has it become illegal?
Thank goodness the cops arrived at the school in time, or the kid might have chewed his brownie into a gun shape.
If you drink lots of coffee but add milk or cream to the black you to are a racist by today’s standards.
We’re getting to the point where public schools need to be shut down for doing more damage than they are teaching. The liberal nanny state is a precursor to broader and more dangerous intrusions of individual liberty.
