PC run amuck again, this time in Arizona

A 9 year old boy kinda sorta maybe used the words "brown people" and it hit the fan: "The circumstances of the boy’s suspension itself raise troubling questions about student discipline, interrogation and oversight at Abraham Lincoln. According to school officials, the boy made a statement about “brown people” to another elementary student with whom he was having a conflict. They maintain it was his second offense using the phrase. But the tape recording indicates this only came out after another parent was allowed to question the boy and elicited from him the statement that he “doesn't cooperate with brown people.” After that was reported to the boy's teacher, he was made to stand in front of his class and publicly confess what he'd said. The boy maintains that he never said it; that the words were put in his mouth by the parent who questioned him. That parent happens to be the mother of the student with whom he is having a conflict—and she happens to work for Abraham Lincoln as a detention-room officer."

Note especially the forcing of the boy to stand up in front of class and confess his "crime."
How long will it be before Big Brother is doing this, aided by thought police?
