Just had the following email from my kids primary school
We request that Buffs are worn around the neck and not on the head
There have been a few incidents where pupils have used Buffs for innapropriate role play involving racial references.
Seriously, WTF? Are they pretending to be jihadists?
Pirateist ?
Arrrrrrrrr.
Cowboys?

buffs? at school? Are they part of the uniform?
White one with eyes cut out and kkk embroidered on?
Are they pretending to be jihadists?
Possibly but the only people who can answer are the school
Next there will be a health and safety note on the dangers of strangulation.
PC gone mad. It’s the specific game playing which is racist not the headware.
We’ve got one with Welsh dragons on it?
I am a Buffist and I am considering becoming offended 💡
I got a free one with the entry to a race I did on Saturday, it was pink and I gave it to my daughter when she asked for it – should I now be worried?
Should you not have given the pink buff to your son? Sexist of you to assume your daughter should have it. 😉
I’ve got a black Buff…
Hang on, Buffs on heads? Is this a continuation of the circumcision thread?
My nephews use mine to dress up like ninjas.

😆 Schools are bloody crazy with this religious sensitivity. Remember my kid getting in trouble for his “bindi” joke?
As an aside, the Gideons were in my kid’s school last week giving out bibles – is this a normal thing??

sadly, yes.
I often wonder how many of those things get binned every September.
What kind of skool is it?
Great, we’ve solved racism, ban buffs and it’ll go away!
Or rather, allow people to wear buffs how they wish, but teach them not to judge people because they belong to a different tribe…
A normal one 😉

I have a son? 😯
We’ve kept the kids Gideon bibles so we can pop them in their bedside cabinets when they start treating us like a hotel…..
the Gideons were in my kid’s school last week
How disturbing
@MoreCash – top post 😀
i don’t know if it’s counted as racism or not, but mine called me a ‘tory voter’ 😥
Suggest that the school uses the opportunity for children to learn about global citizenship, racism and how to make social judgements?
innapropriate
Spelling! Must try harder.
Mind you, if the school are preoccupied with hand-wringing over kids’ games, then maybe spelling and other education can go hang(?)
Knew they shouldn’t have gone with the new design:
House!
what’s a buff?
That thing, literally, in the post above yours.
I have a son?
Congratulations!
I blame computer games and rap music…
What a pile of tripe. Next thing you know the PC brigade wil be telling me the big white pointy hood I wear at weekends is “racist” too.
its a doorag blud innit
They should stop imitating jihadist and play nice traditional games like cowboys and indians.
Jambalaya – really? Which one?
The bedside cabinet hotels one, made me chuckle 😀
Bloody schools, sent a letter home objecting to the way my daughter parted her hair. Fascists!
I shall look back on this thread fondly next time I’m being lambasted on a political thread by a tag team of big hitters.
If there were no Jihadists then kids wouldn’t wouldn’t know about them so wouldn’t copy their dress sense (?) Kill all jihadists & thats that innit?
Didn’t ST used to have an ad in the magazine for the ST buff that had Mark wearing it many different ways?
