Police Called to School for Nine Year Old’s “Racist” Remarks — About Snacks


With the staggering rise of P.C. culture sweeping across America, more and more often news, is being met with collective eye rolls across America. This story might be the most ridiculous yet.

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.

Collingswood mayor says schools’ Call 911 policy dropped: It’s ‘fixed, finished, done.’
Collingswood mom: ‘Are we going to have to send kids to school with a lawyer’s name and number?’
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.

This story goes beyond political correctness. It tormented a young child. If P.C. culture is meant to shield people from uncomfortableness, greeting an innocent kid with a police officer is an odd way of doing it.
