shane39 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I thought the tories were going to put an end to all this nonsense? But,then i suppose it keeps people in their well paid non-descript jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampster Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think this is a bit of an urban legend, I heard this one years ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I saw the report in the papers. One small school changed the words for what appears a fairly spurious reason, and it makes headlines. Even if the words were genuinely changed to fit in with the phonics teaching, someone should have had the wit to realise that the press would have a field day. http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/education/educationnews/9635649.School_denies_PC_claim_over__Baa_baa_little_sheep__lyrics/r/?ref=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 When the Greater London Council was led by Ken Livingstone in the 80s and there were other left-wing councils, right-wing tabloids like the Mail and Sun would make up loads of stories like Baa Baa Black Sheep being banned in schools. Gullible bigots believed it at the time and apparently they still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yes, it is PC gone mad IMO. I sang "Baa Baa Black Sheep" when I was a kid, and I'm not a raving racist, I don't even read the Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
