Default "PC gone mad" Myths and truths
So what is true and what is not in this crazy world?

Has anyone heard you can't sing Ba Ba Blacksheep anymore? Or that they switched blackboards to whiteboards as so not to offend?


Most seem to originate from a ridiculous facebook post and goes from there. Or the Daily Mail or course. Which ones have you heard and do you believe any?

The whiteboard thing is true.

Latest I've heard is that they're revamping old children's stories. "Billy Goat Gruff" with the troll under the bridge is too aggressive, Rumpelstiltskin is about kidnap and execution so that's going to be abolished.

Also Goldilocks promotes theft and trespassing as well as Snow White being sexist.

I think most of the kids stories started off quite brutal and have gradually been watered down over the years.

Ba Ba Blacksheep one is true. It was banned at my little brother's school.

They changed it to "Ba ba white sheep put the light on" or something. Which is double standards imo. If you're going to go all PC on one colour of skin then you can't just use the other.

I find rainbow sheep homophobic.


The whole thing is ridiculous, especially the black board. The board is black, how is it even a reference to a persons skin color?
