Lol have heard of the rainbow sheep but have always sung baa baa black sheep in every centre I've been in. Other teachers in my centre I know an old lady who swallowed a fly...perhaps she'll cry I just say die. The other teachers sometimes don't look that pleased. I don't care! It's blimmin ridiculous.

LOL I love Puff the Magic dragon too, and probably more so when I found out it was all about being high.

As for rabbits and guns, rabbits are a huge pest in NZ and should be treated as such, not the fluffy cute things they're made out to be.]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:14:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15059&PID=320459&title=far-too-pc#320459 <![CDATA[Far too PC : I have noticed it yet at ours...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15059&PID=320430&title=far-too-pc#320430 Author: Bubbaloo

no more oma rapiti?!?  But that's a kiwi institution!!  And this, coming from the girl who burst into tears over Cambell Live last night when a pregnant cat got spayed!  If I don't think the rabbit-gun song is offensive, I don't see who could!

I agree that the PC brigade has gone a little overboard with some things.

I still have the book "Little Black Sambo" from when I was a kid - it was written in 1896 or something I think, long before any of this was an "issue".

But isn't it a fact of life that some people are black & some are white etc?? just as sheep are ]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 11:58:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15059&PID=319349&title=far-too-pc#319349 <![CDATA[Far too PC : OMG!!! thats just like santa not...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15059&PID=319225&title=far-too-pc#319225 Author: Candkids

I think its a bit silly really - I mean little kids arent going to be thinking about racism when they sing BaaBaa Black sheep..unless there is a lot of racism in the home already.

The boys daycare say a karakia as well and i'm happy for that (being part Maori). I just don't like the screwing of the words in the songs.

Puff the Magic Dragon is meant to be sad at the ending , how do they make it happy??

I was reading through some info from Playcentre and they have gone overboard in the PC - trying too hard area. They replaced children with Tamariki the whole way through the booklet but that was the only thing they changed and it sounded really odd reading it.

Yep we have rainbow sheep at our daycare too! They also do a karakea (sp?) which is some kind of maori preyer thing before the eat.

Does anyone else have a far to PC daycare when it comes to songs??

We have Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? 1 for the master, 1 for the dame and 1 for the boys and girls who live down the lane - instead of just the little boys who lived down the lane.

And I know an old lady who swollowed a fly, I don't know why she swollowed a fly prehaps she'll fly - instead of prehaps she'll die.

What else have you got??
