The kids had just returned to their classroom after their lunch break and the teacher was asking them what they did.
'Jane, what did you do?' asked the teacher.
'I played in the sand box with Johnny', replied Jane.
'That's nice,' said the teacher 'now if you can spell 'sand' correctly on the blackboard you can have a cookie'...which is what happened.
'Johnny, what did you do?' asked the teacher.
'I played in the sand box with Jane', replied Johnny.
'That's nice,' said the teacher 'now if you can spell 'box' correctly on the blackboard you can have a cookie'...which is what happened.
'Mohammad, what did you do?' asked the teacher.
'I sat on my own', replied Mohammad.
'Why' asked the teacher.
'When I wanted to play in the sand box with Johnny and Jane, they said they wouldn't play with the likes of me', explained Mohammad.
'What!' exclaimed the teacher, 'that is nothing but blatant racial discrimination'...'now if you can spell 'blatant racial discrimination' correctly on the blackboard you can have a cookie.
