    You know, talking to your kids about race at a young age can save you from some very embarrassing moments.

    That amount of hate and discontent in that first kid's eyes is hilarious.

    BLACK sheep are on the endangered species list as some children in north Queensland learn to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.
    The English nursery rhyme may have survived for 200-plus years but political correctness could finally put it out to pasture.

    Some schools in Britain have banned the song for being racist, but Pelicans Innisfail Child Care allows children to sing about black sheep or rainbow sheep.

    Director Pam McLaughlin said some teachers sang the changed lyrics, and some children already knew the changes.

    "We just go with whatever the children want," Ms McLaughlin said.

    "The kids are just singing and having fun. Some sing black sheep, some sing rainbow sheep. It's just a song.

    "We don't have anything that says, 'You have to sing it this way'."

    The BBC reported in 2000 that Birmingham City Council had banned the song for being racist. It was later overturned after a backlash from parents.

    The council said it had obtained the guidelines, which stated: "The history behind the rhyme is very negative and also very offensive to black people, due to the fact that the rhyme originates from slavery".

    Six years later in 2006, a nursery in Sutton Courtenay in Britain banned the nursery rhyme.

    In other examples, the principal of a school in NSW last year adapted the lyrics from Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree so children would say how happy, rather than gay, his life must be.

    In 2009 the Birmingham council took creative licence to change the ending of Humpty Dumpty from couldn't "put Humpty together again" to "made Humpty happy again".

    Golliwog dolls have been taken off shelves because of racism concerns and passages have been removed from Enid Blyton books because of perceived homo****** undertones between Noddy and Big Ears.

    Australian National University social psychologist Michael Platow said he doubted Baa Baa Black Sheep would teach racism.

    "I don't know why a child would associate a black sheep with a black man," he said.

    The Office of Early Childhood Education and Care associate director-General Zea Johnston said no direction had been given and centres were responsible for their own education programs.

    Pelicans has indigenous and non-indigenous children, and recognises diversity. Children play with white dolls, darker-skinned dolls and dolls of both sexes.

    Ms McLaughlin said she thought changing the lyrics was a bit confusing for children. "You can get a black sheep but you can't get a rainbow sheep."


    The world is nuts.

    Oh and BTW Hank, the most overused word or rather most misused word is probably bigot

    Those mongols who make so much drama about racism should watch Russell Peters

    The incident in question is retarded.
    I think that some of the comments at the bottom of the page are quite telling as to the opinions of the Daily Mail's readership.

    Having read the whole article it appears that we only have the claims of Ms White to go on here. The council only acknowledge that they had to report the incident to another, or higher, authority as per procedure. They make no mention of asking her to sign anything, or at least the Daily Mail didn't put it in the article. I'm not disputing that Ms White may or may not have been asked to sign something but I dout that it was to make her admit that her son was racist.

    I'm willing to bet that if she was asked to sign anything it was just to get her to acknowledge that a complaint had been made and that she understood that the incident was being reported to another/higher authority for further investigation.
