But of course all of a sudden children's rhymes are changed because of course, that will stop the racist bullying in the playground.
And that wouldn't be the racial divide caused by stupid reports like this?!
IMO it's this sort of article which prmotes racism, has nobody thought that maybe, just maybe more black people needed arresting??  |
Ask your nursery staff why. If they say it's so that blacks aren't offended, ask them who they consulted with in the black community to find out if they were offended or not, ask for copies of the complaints from blacks regarding this.
If they can't provide them (which of course they can't) demand they stop being so racist by patronising blacks and start reciting the rhyme properly.
Explain to them that it's people like them which cause racial tension.
