GREAT MOMENTS IN ORWELLANDIA

Times, UK - Nursery-age children should be monitored for signs of brainwashing by Islamist extremists, according to a leaked police memo obtained by The Times.

In an e-mail to community groups, an officer in the West Midlands counter-terrorism unit wrote: "I do hope that you will tell me about persons, of whatever age, you think may have been radicalised or be vulnerable to radicalisation. . . Evidence suggests that radicalisation can take place from the age of 4."

The police unit confirmed that counter-terrorist officers specially trained in identifying children and young people vulnerable to radicalization had visited nursery schools.

. . . Arun Kundnani, of the Institute of Race Relations, contacted the officer and said he was told that officers had visited nursery schools. Mr Kundnani added: "He did seem to think it was standard. He said it wasn't just him or his unit that was doing it. He said the indicators were they [children] might draw pictures of bombs and say things like 'all Christians are bad' or that they believe in an Islamic state. It seems that nursery teachers in the West Midlands area are being asked to look out for radicalization. He also said that targeting young children was important because they would be left aware of what was inappropriate to say at school. He felt that it was necessary to cover nurseries as well as primary and secondary schools. He said it was a precaution and that he wasn't expecting to come back with a list."

As with the hate crime bullshit this is aimed at any parent, Muslim or not, who critisises Israel's immoral crimonal behavior.

I keep telling people that these sillyass laws, more than anything else are about accustoming the public to asking permission before going to the bathroom as if we were all some group of helpless school children who can't be trusted to make reasonable choices for ourselves, but they're all so mentally lazy they feel relieved when someone tells them what to do.
