9:00 AM -- Sure, they look innocent. Sliding down slides, watching cartoons, shaking rattles. But those so-called children could be harboring deep-seated racism, The Telegraph reports.

The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.

It alerts playgroup leaders that even babies can not be ignored in the drive to root out prejudice as they can "recognise different people in their lives".

It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".

Also high on the list of slurs and offensive language: “butthead” and “nanna nanna boo boo.”

The guide goes on to warn that children might also "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuk'".

Now there's a new reason to punish kids for not cleaning their plates. It's not pickiness; it's racism.

Staff are told: "No racist incident should be ignored. When there is a clear racist incident, it is necessary to be specific in condemning the action."

The NCB advises victims of racism to employ the phrase, “I am rubber and you are glue...”
