Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep

Nursery school bosses ordered the words of the rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep to be altered to Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.

The change was made to avoid offending children after teachers examined the nursery's equal opportunities policy.

Stuart Chamberlain, manager of the Sure Start Centre in Oxford, could not explain why children might be offended.

But he said: "No one should feel pointed out because of their race, gender or anything else.

"We've taken the equal opportunities approach to everything we do.

"This is fairly standard across nurseries. We are following stringent equal opportunities rules."

You've got to be kidding :helpme

lol.. hahahahaHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHahah

rember littlel black samabo? I use to love that story as a child. i believe that is a banned story these days, I could be wrong.

although not politically correct, they are what they are and were written in different times.

don't think it fitting in this case, there are black sheep... not sure how sheep translate to children and thier race. but hey, it's a fucked up world we live in.

WTF? Rainbow sheep! It's a Gay conspiracy!!

I wonder how long until they find out that the Rainbow is a symbol of the gay community and change it again...

:1orglaugh

Three more words that might offend their delicate sensibilities:

THAT'S JUST FUCKED.

Argh, dbl. post demon

Serious Question: Do you feel these changes that seem overzealous at least on the surface, will lead to a future with humanity getting along better with each other? Otherwise, really.. what's the point?

I think it works against them in that is assumes that being black is a negative.

I know I like my bank account in the black.. that ain't a bad thing :1orglaugh

lol indeed

Remember Song of the South? One of the best Disney movies, but you can't get it in the US.

i like the idea... but then, there is no rainbow sheep in reality. that will add up to the confusion of the kids
