BBC NEWS | UK | Education | Three Little Pigs 'too offensive'

I saw that. Had to check it wasn't 1 April today.

Unfortunately, give it a week and it will be "and I hate Muslims because they even protested against three little pigs".

Incredible.

And this is exactly what will happen. It will be used as ammunition by racists everywhere.


There is often nothing worse than some white middle class do-gooder making decisions for an ethinic minority that doesn't need protecting to that extent thank you very much.

Time for a bit of common sense:

The three little pigs is a well established nursery story in the UK, if people from other countries don't like it, they could always not read it!! Simple as.

The only builders that might be offended are cowboy builders and who gives a crap what they think!

Yet more people with too much time and not enough brain syndrome wasting everyone's time and creating a problem that didn't exist, under the guise of "diversity"!

It seems we are trying to eliminate our culture not support multiple cultures.

I honestly believe there will be a backlash at some point with all this... we are ALL (even most of the muslims /sikhs/jews/etc ) and those that make the decisions will be given short shrift.

i'm afraid it's unemployable white, public sector, sub-sociologist, leftist, uk-hating, self-righteous and job-justifying cretins like these who embarass ethnic groups and create resentment that otherwise wouldn't exist. most normal people don't give a rat's poopchute where someone's from or who they are and just rub along together.

i'd very much like to be locked in a room with the judges from BECTA so i could deliver some home truths. with a big stick and a wet fish.

Its not the people from other countries who are objecting. Its the dim, wet lefties trying to garner a few black votes.

The reason The Three Little Cowboy Builders, from Shoo Fly Publishing was not shortlisted was that it failed to reach the required standard across a number of criteria. The feedback makes clear that the issues highlighted were a small selection from a much broader range of comments which in the round make clear why the product did not win. In particular, the product was not sufficiently convincing on curriculum and innovation grounds to be shortlisted. There was a very high standard of entries to this year's BETT awards and four high-quality products were eventually shortlisted in this category.
From the judges Becta.

Anyway, I think the BBC should be prosecuted for inciting racial hatred for publishing stories like this.
I propose any story with the words, Muslim, Islam, Christian, Jew etc, etc should be eliminated from all mainstream press - job solved. (That includes this forum)

Judging the way the megalomaniac tool is acting on the threads in question, you might just be right! . The sooner he goes and lets the new owners get on with it the better!

This country has changed so much since I was born (1972) God knows how much it has changed since people laid down their lives 60 years ago. It seems to have any sense of Britishness you have to live in a rural location or, perversely enough, abroad in an expat community.

He doesn't need to go, he does a good job overall in the general dynamic. He just needs to listen to customer feedback

Good point Suresh. It beggars belief that we have quangos like these 'protecting' us.

The funny thing is it's not black/asian/green people that take offence to this crap. It's some middle aged woman stuck in some governmet office whose frustrated thatshe aint getting any because her husband is banging his 18 year old secretary. so decides to take out her frustrations by righting the wrongs in the world




And the media bames this crappy outrage on the black/asian/ green people, thus enflaming tensions evermore
