Pretty nicely timed with SD's post, I thought.
So schools in Oxfordshire have decided to take political correctness to a new level, changing the old rhyme 'Baa, baa, blacksheep, have you any wool?' to 'Baa, baa, rainbow sheep...'
No joke. They also removed 'the Seven Dwarves' from the title of Snow White, and changed the ending of Humpty Dumpty so as not to scare any children. Anyone else think this is a bit strange?
(

And what
is a rainbow sheep? Doesn't a rainbow imply homosexuality? I'd think that, too, would be politically incorrect. Just make the damn thing blue. Atleast it's the same number of syllables as 'black.'
Edit: Oh, seems this was already mentioned further down in SD's thread.

Yeah. What is that bitch growing in her garden anyway? Damn hippies.
Rainbow sheep tastes like chicken.

Rainbow Sheep to be Taught in British Schools, Creationism to be Taught in British Schools.
Are these Daily Mail headlines?

So, this is another made up POLITIAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD story because a hack didn't have anything better, right?

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS GONE MAD
BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE NOT JUST IN ONE OR TWO PLACES WHERE THEY'VE KIND OF MISSED THE POINT
ALSO THERE ISN'T RACISM ANY MORE WE SOLVED IT LIKE WE SOLVED DRUGS WITH THAT WAR ON DRUGS

Solved it by excising Mr Golly from Noddy. :(
Poor Mr Golly.
