<p>People love t put down those they think are inferior, and that what I think is happenning on this blog post, and in it's comments.</p>Ewan McIntosh commented on 'Little Big Brother: British TV's most racist programmes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d835102c9f69e22007-01-21T16:02:51Z2007-04-29T15:00:43ZEwan McIntoshhttp://edu.blogs.comPolitics?

In Scotland we have no curriculum as such. But these three areas are part of the social education of every child.</p>Peter commented on 'Little Big Brother: British TV's most racist programmes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d835102b9069e22007-01-21T15:44:35Z2007-04-29T15:00:30ZPeterhttp://www.nakedblog.comNo wonder kids are so thick if their teachers spend all day talking about TV programmes.

When I was at school, in the fifties and sixties, we got reading, writing and spelling. </p>
<p>Personally I'd report to the authorities any teacher who wasted lesson time discussing this show with my children. I don't wish them to hear teachers' views on matters such as this.</p>
<p>Stick to the curriculum, please!</p>Ewan McIntosh commented on 'Little Big Brother: British TV's most racist programmes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d834d9ad6753ef2007-01-18T21:23:32Z2007-04-29T13:56:11ZEwan McIntoshhttp://edu.blogs.comI put her there by blogging about her or we put her there by buying newspapers and magazines where she...<p>I put her there by blogging about her or we put her there by buying newspapers and magazines where she happens to appear?

<p>The lottery, scratchcards, jade all these items are marketed for those wishing for a better life. </p>
<p>The best thing that can happen to Jade is for her career to fail. But remeber this over 80% of Britons ARE JAde be they fundamentalkists, racists, small minded undereducated chavs... Im betting we get a 'Jade' goes to India documentary in which Jade visists slums and compares them to say Manchester...</p>
<p>Jade will survive, after all she is the 25th most influential person in the world, and you put her there!</p>Antony Mayfield commented on 'Little Big Brother: British TV's most racist programmes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d8350f05d969e22007-01-18T20:19:18Z2007-04-29T13:54:39ZAntony Mayfieldhttp://www.open.typepad.comGood post.

<p>There is a lot of racism in the UK, often hiding just out of public view. I hope at least this debate and the loud disgust at the behaviour of those people shames some into rethinking their shabby attitudes. </p>David Noble commented on 'Little Big Brother: British TV's most racist programmes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d834d91dcb53ef2007-01-17T22:52:52Z2007-04-29T13:21:22ZDavid Noblehttp://booruch.libsyn.comThere seems to be much wringing of hands across sections of the media, with a few high profile Endemol employees...<p>There seems to be much wringing of hands across sections of the media, with a few high profile Endemol employees letting live on-screen comments go unchallenged.

We were sitting on the sofa willing someone to jump in and point out how stupid, ignorant and, by proxy, racist these girls were being.</p>
<p>In the end they all went to the diary room to complain. What is it that we do in school with kids? We advise them to "tell a teacher". Is the diary room the teacher? Is telling a teacher adequate or should we be teaching something else?</p>Lynne Lewis commented on 'Little Big Brother: British TV's most racist programmes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d8350e747569e22007-01-17T22:20:24Z2007-04-29T13:18:00ZLynne LewisI'm glad you have raised this Ewan teachers should be encouraging their classes to discuss the treatment of Shilpa.

<p>I have been horrified by the behaviour of the women involved but lets not forget to discuss the issue of the men who stand by and seem to implicate its all just a 'girl thing' rather than a 'racism thing'. </p>
