I read a story that said that some educator-type person said that white paper is racist. And, no, not the concept of a White Paper, a write-up on handling specific issues or problems, but actual paper. That’s white.

The stuff you put in photocopiers. The stuff that goes into your printer. The stuff that’s in a notebook. The stuff you write on. Actual white paper. Paper that is white in color.

And, no, I’m not making this up. Although, there’s no doubt in my mind that Anne O’Connor, who made the claim, is making it up.

The Telegraph reports what O’Connor is advocating:

Children should be provided with paper other than white to drawn on and paints and crayons should come in “the full range of flesh tones”, reflecting the diversity of the human race, according to the former teacher.

Finally, staff should be prepared to be economical with the truth when asked by pupils what their favourite colour is and, in the interests of good race relations, answer “black” or “brown”.

“Economical with the truth?” Didn’t that used to be called “lying?”

Anyway, the crazy O’Conner woman is trying to dress witches in pink (really) and give children green paper to draw on.

And that kinda sums it all up right there. I go to work every day to get green paper. She wants to use green paper for drawing. And she wants your green paper to pay for it.
