Nope sir, in state nursery school, a parent of a child with black skin complained as she found the traditional nursery rhyme
'Baa baa Black sheep'
To be racially discriminative and derogatory so now all teachers are advised by the government to use baa baa blue sheep,
to avoid any potential law suits.
I mean com-on, not even hazzer or whisky can be in favour of this sorta nonsensical BS surely?
LOL - cheap shot mate. Read my posts carefully Laurie, especially the two where I state clearly how I dislike the hypocracy towards racial issues that is endemic in many British institutions, & that includes education, at present. If you're struggling with any of the long words, ask an adult.
I agree, this is total bs. However, in my innocent youth "gollywogs" and "The Black & White Minstrel Show" were the norm and I think most reasonable people would consider them offensive now.
The lefty, do-gooders with beards and cardies who propagate this sort of nonsense need an injection of common sense & a slap around the face to make them realise that by pandering to this rubbish they not only irritate decent folk but also give the unpleasant little fascists in our society more propaganda to fuel their perverse ideologies.
I've worked with many black, brown and yellow skinned colleagues over the years and I'm certain that they would laugh and shake their heads in disbelief at the thought that anyone could consider Baa, baa, black sheep to be anything other than a benign nursery rhyme.
Regards.
