Progressive loons now consider brownies racist. Not calling someone a brownie mind you, but the actual snack or food that so many people like to eat. Of course, this is South Jersey, in Chris Christieville, so I’m not surprised.

A couple of things to note here. First, it wasn’t the teacher but another student who determined the remark about the brownie was racist. So, apparently, a 9-year-old social justice warrior prompted this overreaction (read on because there’s more to it). The story tells us nothing more about this student. Was he or she a minority? What might have prompted him or her to think this was a racial remark in the first place?
Second, we have no way to judge how out of line the comment was (if at all) because the story never tells us what was said. All we know is that a boy apparently said something about the color of the brownies, something which another child deemed awkward or problematic.
Now at this point I can imagine all sorts of comments a 9-year-old might make, everything from the innocuous ‘I don’t like dark chocolate’ to various uncomfortable but still innocent variations on this theme. What’s hard to imagine is what could have been said that actually would merit a call to the police. That seems to go way beyond what this situation called for. As the mother of the boy tells Philly.com, “There was a police officer with a gun in the holster talking to my son, saying, ‘Tell me what you said.’ He didn’t have anybody on his side.”
And the interrogation of a 9-year-old wasn’t the end of it. Later, the police informed the family that the incident had been reported to New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency. It’s not clear what that organization was supposed to do but presumably they are now going to open some kind of file on this family.
