Three Little Pigs Puppies , yikes!
So here is the headlines,
Church School Renames Three Little Pigs to Three Little Puppies to Avoid Offending Muslims.
My first re-action was ” oh for the love of petah!”
“The story of the Three Little Pigs’ battle with the Big Bad Wolf has delighted children since it was written more than 150 years ago.
But the tale highlighting the merits of hardwork and practicality has become the latest to fall victim to political correctness. A junior school production of the children’s story has been renamed the Three Little Puppies for fear of offending Muslims.
Organisers of a children’s music festival have altered the popular characters and lyrics because of the multi-cultural nature of the youngsters involved and their parents in the audience.
Now here is the kicker and happy ending.
“Islamic leaders condemned the politically correct move as misguided and said decisions like this were turning Muslims into ‘misfits’ in society. “
And I said again, “oh! for the love of Peewee!”
But organisers of the Kirklees Primary Music Festival decided to change the script to be ’sensitive’ to Muslims at a recent committee meeting.
Committee member Gill Goodswen, head teacher of Stile Common Junior School, defending the move.
She said: “We have to be sensitive if we want to be multi-cultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs.
She went on saying that “We feared that some Muslim children wouldn’t sing along to the words about pigs,’ she said.”
But Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra from the Muslim Council of Britain branded the move ‘bizarre’
