This is beyond ridiculous! Where is the innocence in nursery rhymes that have been around for many years? Whoever started all this nonsense in political correctness is a complete joke ! Go back to the old ways , the old days of the cute funny nursery rhymes..instead of these newly worded nonsense rhymes.

Absurd. I still find it hard to deal with the change to eenie meenie minnie mo.

It is going too far, or PC gone mad in my humble opinion. I remember being in the south of America and was warned to ask for a coffee without milk if I wanted a black coffee.

I think some people need a reality check – you cannot change (nor should you be expected to) every instance where the word black is used just so it doesn’t offend some people. I really think everyone is so quick to jump on this “oh that offends me bandwagon” that they really don’t think about whether it truly is affecting them or they are just going along with the rest of the herd!

It will always baa baa black sheep and I look forward to when I have grandkids and can sing it to them!

What a load of crock. Rediculous to change this song.

Aw COME ON, lol ! Funny enough in Dutch we have been singing sheep sheep all along (schaapje, schaapje heb je witte wol) !!

This gone way to far, very silly!

I’ve learned two things from this – one the world has gone crazy and two, I’ve been singing “and for the for the little boy who lives down the lane, Opps. I like my version better

Political correctness gone mad and this is totally ridiculous.

They have home too far! It will not be the same!

Will always have the original in my head.

  Will always sing the version I know too!

They really did that? No, please!

Stop messing with the children’s nursery rhymes its something that is easy to join generations together

Where is this school? I seem to remember this coming up for discussion a while ago. Won’t change how people sing it. I’ll still sing the old version to my grandkids

Baa. Baa. Sheep. Sheep. is kind of catchy! And much better than the ‘baa baa rainbow sheep’ that the kids started singing after one day at school… political correctness gone wrong? Well, the idiom ‘black sheep’ is worse, used as it is to label family members as ‘bad’ and matching that with a colour. Probably should be making more fuss about that one.

Baa baa black sheep! Its a color not insult to taxes, slavery or someone’s ethnic background or sexual preference (as other arguements I have heard against it) it’s just the colour of sheeps wool and that’s how I’ll teach my boy to sing it.

Banning the word black from everything makes out there is something wrong with it. They are doing more harm than good.
