The supporters of the alien Marxist concept which has been called political correctness but which is in fact political tyranny have scored another â??own goalâ? by calling for the rewriting of a favourite nursery rhyme.

The inmates who have taken control of the asylum want infants to recite the words â??baa baa rainbow sheepâ? instead of the original â??baa baa black sheepâ?. But parents are reported to be furious at this politically inspired nonsense.

Several nurseries have changed the traditional rhyme so as not offend ethnic minorities, it has been reported. Labour Party supporters in charge of these places of toddler education claim that the words "black sheep" alienate and offend young black children.

Stuart Chamberlain, manager of the Family Centre in Abingdon and the Sure Start centre in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, defended the move.

"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."

Children at the Family Centre in nearby Abingdon are also taught the 'PC' version.
But parents are reported to be unhappy with the move.

Historic lineage

"Baa Baa Black Sheep is one of the most well-known nursery rhymes for generations," one parent told The London Times.

Although the first publication of the nursery rhyme was in 1744, it probably dates back to the Middle Ages, possibly to the 13th Century and relates to a tax imposed by the king on wool.

One-third went to the local lord (the 'master'), one-third to the church (referred to as the 'dame') and about a third was for the farmer (the 'little boy who lives down the lane').

"It's a new Stalinist approach to good manners and respect." John Midgley, co-founder of the Campaign Against Political Correctness, said: "This is absolutely ridiculous. If they say it's for equal opportunities then it's counterproductive.�

Several black sheep tracked down to fields in Oxfordshire were interviewed by BNP correspondents only to be greeted with a â??no comment, can we please get back to eating the grassâ? response. Despite several manhours of effort no rainbow sheep were located and this particular ovine variety remains elusive.
