More PC Indoctrination

via Majority Rights.

"Instead of singing “Baa baa, black sheep” as generations of children have learnt to do, toddlers in Oxfordshire are being taught to sing “Baa baa, rainbow sheep”.

The move, which critics will seize on as an example of political correctness, was made after the nurseries decided to re-evaluate their approach to equal opportunities.

Stuart Chamberlain, manager of the Family Centre in Abingdon and the Sure Start centre in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, told the local Courier Journal newspaper: “We have taken the equal opportunities approach to everything we do.

“This is fairly standard across nurseries. We are following stringent equal opportunities rules. No one should feel pointed out because of their race, gender or anything else.”

In keeping with the new approach, teachers at the nurseries have reportedly also changed the ending of Humpty Dumpty so as not to upset the children and dropped the seven dwarfs from the title of Snow White."


Surely if the nurseries want to be truly multicultural, they should use the nursery rhymes of today's street - like the versions by famously foul-mouthed rappers 2 Live Crew (you can look for the link yourself). They aren't afraid of Humpty's sad fate - far from it.

"All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put that fat m*****f***** back together again"



Or perhaps the Ice Cube version :

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
With a joint, drinkin some 8-ball
Three little pigs in a Coup de Ville
Lookin for, the wolf to kill
They're ****** up and they want revenge
Them and Humpty used to be friends
Now they're enemies cause he's a traitor
Pulled out the Uzi cruised by and sprayed him



The dwarves and Snow White ? Don't go there.

As a gay man I've VERY offended by the term 'rainbow sheep'. It's pure discrimination...I'm putting a claim in.

Fair point. Wrong-headed attempt to socially engineer by focussing on minor irrelevancies rather than things which could make a real difference like learning to integrate all sorts of kids together.

Baa baa rainbow sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir and/or madam
Sixteen kilos full

One for the ethnic minorities,
One for the differently abled,
And the rest for the persons of unknown status
Who should not, at present, be labelled.

Alas, witty though it was, I've terminated Mr FM's contribution on grounds of taste and decency, as having crossed that thin and wavy line ....
