If you'd even read the articles you'd realise that yes, they actually DID remove the word black - unless the express article misreported the facts.

A NURSERY school has been accused of “political correctness gone mad” by removing the word “black” from a nursery rhyme.

Excuse me for reading the article and
jumping to that conclusion, God forbid !

I fail to understand why in various discussions, you seem to take a certain gratification by repeatedly dredging up little "ignoratio elenchis", as if they change anything or prove anything in any way relevant to the point of the discussion.
Though granted, it was late last night and I didn't actually see the "Britain First" wording, but there were so many articles on this topic to choose from, I didn't even look. Just skim read the article, that's all.
I could understand your critique IF there isn't excessive political correctness in schools, but surely you agree that there is? So if you agree, then why try to find some flaw in what I'm writing, when you agree that there is a problem?
On the other hand, maybe you don't agree. Perhaps you think the status quo is fine and dandy. If that's the case, then I can understand your approach.
But here's the problem...
Not Britain first nor the BNP wrote this article I linked to earlier:
http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6004257
They didn't write this one either:
Children accused of bigotry
Nor this one:
3 year olds labeled bigots
Nor this one:
7 year old boy accused of racism
From the above link:
Quote:
A primary school in Hull has issued a statement claiming it acted "in accordance with council guidance on reporting racist incidents" after a boy of SEVEN was accused of making a racist remark to another pupil.
Little Elliott Dearlove had asked a classmate if he was "brown because he was from Africa."

There are endless examples of cases like these, and I don't think they fall apart under analysis, unless I'm missing something here and if so - then by all means tell me what it is.
Its all PC madness I tell you !
