Baa baa rainbow sheep..?

Ok, it's now not "PC" to sing baa baa black sheep. Kids in oxfordshire have been taught to call it "baa baa rainbow sheep" to not be racist.

How pathetic is that. Seriously. :mad:

Heard this on the news this morning, just shows how out of control this dump of a country is.

Hasn't this 'Baa baa black/white/green/rainbow sheep' issue been kicking around for years now? I remember hearing this argument/complaint when I was at college and that was 14 years ago! :confused:

Stellios · 8 Mar 2006 at 00:32

Yeah its been kicking around a while, but IIRC its never actually been forced by a school until now.

There's a thread on this in SC...

Oops, never look in SC, sorry

How long before our kids are singing "Three visually impaired mice", "This elderly man, he played one" and "Rupinder had a little lamb".

Oh great, another school takes a radical idea a tad OTT and gives everyone something to cry about.

GSXR is right, people have been finding schools doing this for years.

WHAT

I sung that song, Am I a racist, NO.

I will teach my niece it and my kids.

Well thanks for that intelligent and well articulated response there.

When did black become a race, and not a colour? Last time a check they were negros.

Do they put these story in the papers to annoy us, i tend to ignore the media as i feel its a mass form of brainwashing, the sun rules the minds of the lower class.
The times is just as bad, except it makes upperclass people think there smart.

No Problem.

LOL @ the new lyrics, who thought of rainbow sheep, i suppose you cant get any more PC than every color in the spectrum combined. I used to get annoyed that we are being told we cant say words we have always said i.e black board, black coffee, but now i just think its pathetic and doesn't really change anything as people will always use the word black.

Don't take it to heart, he drives a modeo, bless him. Got to get it out somehow.

alexakasloth · 8 Mar 2006 at 07:55

also changed the ending of Humpty Dumpty so as not to upset the children

I don't remember being upset by that :confused:

PsiFox · 8 Mar 2006 at 09:34

So they will have to change the name of this breed then :confused:

What? When has that ever happened?

fatiain · 8 Mar 2006 at 09:35

Rainbow sheep? There's no black in rainbow. It's a BNP conspiracy. :rolleyes:

I think someone in the SC thread had this happen to them at university. Might be worth a check.
