Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

moneyboy to monkeymanI would bring a case alleging the 'mid-day supervisor' was racist in appearing to associate monkeys as used in the innocent phrase 'monkeyboy' with any race in particular. She (I'm assuming the mds is a 'she') made the racist association, not your son. Start the case rolling (threaten to write to governors, local papers, education authority) with allegations of misconduct against the mds and settle for withdrawal of the remark from his record.
