Political correctness came to Scarborough recently in the form of a fund raising music event.
Children at a local nursery sang “Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep” instead of the traditional “Baa Baa Black Sheep“. This drew local criticism, saying that children were “in the grips of political correctness” and that nursery rhymes were part of our cultural heritage.
We have the “rainbow sheep” but what will be next? “Four and twenty rainbow birds” instead of “four and twenty blackbirds”?
Have you ever seen a rainbow sheep out there? No, neither have we!
