are you suggesting that government money paid for the book?

Compare this to NCB which responds "The book is being funded from book sales alone – and not from government funding or from any grants, as has been reported." http://www.ncb.org.uk/Page.asp?originx_6073ic_23555200356948j64k_2008772856u

Ah, the Daily Torygraph

Funny how, in article that said
"It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".

The guide goes on to warn that children might also "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuk'".

they chose to pick up on unfamiliar food and ignore racist abuse. Maybe it indicates which they think is more important?

Is it OK to let it go if children in school call each other "***" "*****" "***" or "****" ?

This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.

Sounds like they are doing a bit of word bending here..more lazy journalism maybe?
