Just When I Thought The PC Brigade Had Gone Home,

they are back again,

this time picking on children, despite the fact that there are currently no deaf children or parents who attend the Sure Start toddler group, in Acomb, North Yorkshire, toddlers have been servilely reprimanded by Jill Hodges, assistant director of education, children and young people’s services at the City of York Council, it appears that the sign made by the kids when they innocently sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was offensives to her and people that were deaf, Mrs. Hodges added 'parents have not been banned from using the other sign and City of York Council does not have a policy over this matter,’


signing experts said those who use Makaton or British Sign Language would not misinterpret the meaning because it depended on context, Lynn Delfosse, of the charity Action on Hearing Loss, said: ‘the signs alone can have more than one meaning, as with any language, and need to be contextualised in terms of grammar and of the situation in which they are used’


for heavens sake these are kids! now here is a better idea, if the rate payers of York wish to save themselves some money on PC nonsense contextualised this, the Mrs. sack Hodges give Jill.
