Baa baa, rainbow sheep
 

'TRADITIONAL nursery rhymes are being rewritten at nursery schools to avoid causing offence to children.

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.'

These politically correct lunatics have about as much respect for traditional culture as the Taliban has for non-Islamic culture. The nursery rhymes that they're changing have lasted for hundreds of years, Baa Baa black sheep was written in 1744 and satirised the taxes imposed on wool exports. But it's only a matter of time now before the original versions, which make historical sense, will be unknown to children, and only the nonsensical PC version will be sung.

Did you know that the nursery rhyme song, "This Old Man" is really about cannibalism? I cringe everytime I hear kids reciting the song...

1.) I think the Gay Britt/Taliban comparison is totally valid. It's a slippery slope. One day you're making an uneccesary editorial change, and the next you're a religous facist bent on jihad. We should probbly bomb those gay britts back tyo the stone age before it's too late.

2.) As a liberal, I stand behind moves like this and don't think they are stupid at all. The tyranny of mentioning colors in nursery rhymes is something we have tolerated for far too long. I don't know anyone of my political stripe who feels any different. "Rainbow Sheep" has my total, impassioned commitment and I want to be clear, it represents the poltical will of every single person at all left of center. We will bury you.

3.) This is a very important issue. Anyone on either side not devoting themsleves fully to this issue simply do not understand what is important.

4.) This wholesale, pervasive country wide referendum on Nursery rhymes, which will obliterate all refernces ever in all school systems in britain to the 'Black Sheep' of the rhyme respresents the degree to which England has been taken over by the far left, and the mortal danger Englands right wing now faces. We should have seen how dangerously left wing England had beome when she refused to side with her old ally the United States in it's war in Iran. Soon all right wing Britts will be rounded up into camps and reeducated.

5.) Did your mother have any children that were viable?

No, I didn't know that. It could also be about a pedophile. There's definitely something dodgy about that one anyway, I agree. Although it never should be changed.

I can't see anything wrong at all with Baa Baa black sheep though. It's not saying there's anything wrong with the black sheep, it's just saying that the sheep is black, so why the PC loonies think it should be changed to rainbow sheep I just can't understand.

Here's the offending song, for anyone who doesn't know it:

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Well no wonder all of England is up in arms. I didn't get it at first, having never heard the common Nursery Rhyme 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', but now that I have it's no surprise there is a sweeping grass roots movement to erradicate it and salt the ground from which it grew.

The only reason I can think of that no American media has picked up on this near epic frenzy across the pond is political correctness.

Load your Blunderbuss, Pharah. We're coming for you! This 'rainbow sheep' business is the thin end of the wedge! If I were you, I'd just bash out the glass of your front window and start shooting! Your country is so cancerous with liberals chances are anyone you killed firing randomly would benefit sane, solid , British kulture by being killed.




God but you'rre a whiny wee queer.

Max brings up many valid points from our "psycho leftist" "agenda". For this reason and many others including my current unemployment I am setting up a support group for Nursery Rhyme Harrassment victims. this group is named Fairytale and Nursery Rhyme Enthusiasts Ostacized by the PC police, or FANREOBPCP for short.

Our group has gone far beyond accepting "rainbow sheep" because this is on obvious allusion to Homosexual sheep. We cannot discriminate homosexual toddlers in this critical state of life.

FANREOBPCP has also moved to abolish the rhyme "ring around the rosie" because it is a reference to the Plague which ravaged history in its flowering Dark Ages. We don't have the Plague anymore so this "Rhyme" (I use the term losely) is superfulous. We should not fill our young childrens minds with these unneccesary trivias when we should be pumping them with genetic scienc and articles about how God doesn't exist.

For more information about FANREOBPCP, pick up this months newsletter.

when i do "this little piggy" with cub, and get to the piggy who is supposed to eat roast beef, i always say pizza instead because i just can't see why a pig would eat roast beef.

As a Jew, I'm offended by the idea of anthropomorphic pigs. Could you say "This little Rainbow Sheepy" instead?

Please do it right away, because I don't want to lag behind a bunch of fucking tea baggers in this, the most important issue we as a global village face.

i always thought pigs ate everything.

i changed the way i said the "now i lay me down" prayer when my 12-year-old was a baby. instead of "if i should die before i wake, i pray the lord my soul to take" (like i said when i was a kid), it's "may angels watch me through the night and wake me with the morning light." :/

I've found a rap version, it's not exactly PC though:

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any blow?
Yeah for real, init,
My negro;
Some for my bruvvaz,
Shootin up the street
And some to give the white biatch,
I wanna slip my meat

Aren't you supposed to be at the Gay Parade?

Aren't you supposed to be funny? That's my joke, get your own, butwank.

Baa, baa, biggot,
Paranoid and loud;
imagines he's a victim,
So blustery and proud;
terrified of lefties,
and most immigrants,
certain all the Queer boys
want into his pants.

here I've been thinking my entire life that it was "one for the master, one for the king." I don't know if I can go outside again.



boy is my face red :<

Quality.

Good thing you're deaf?

As long as they are disregarding syllable count, it should be "Baa, baa, generic, non-descript sheep."

It's not like the sheep was going around eating fried chicken and watermelon :/

That's ridiculous, to change a phrase because it involves a color.

I don't mind the black sheep as long as they're eating on their own side of the field.

You must have just smoked a really big one to think that pile of shit is quality, Dope.

everyone knows about you and your love of "really big ones". Stop being so ashamed and shake your junk for us.

apparently not deaf enough. sometime i forget to turn off my hearing aids.

I'd like to see your "really big ones", butwank. :lol

I know.
