Pigs Prohibited The children's book "The Three Little Pigs" and the movie "Babe" are from now on prohibited at the nursery school in the brittish place Batley. The Park Road Junior Infant & Nursery School has forbidden all tales which have something to do with pigs. The school does this, because it can be shocking for the islamite kids at the school (60% of 250 kids).
Don't you think this goes a little too far? Taking other cultures into account is a good thing, but this is plain stupid. I don't mean to offend anyone, but how can a tale with a pig can be offending the islamite kids or their parents?

Ignorant! Offcourse not, the idea is good, but the action itself is so stupid. It's like not showing movies with elevations, because some kids may have fear of heights! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To me it sounds like before the books were 'required' readings - the kids didn't have a choice if they wanted to hear/read them. If they had always been an option left up to each kid it would be a different story... then they could choose NOT to read them. If we had a source then we could find out... I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Ignorant! It is when those you try to respect totally not agree with what you are doing: "Muslim leaders said that children are not forbidden to read about pigs. Inayat Bunglawala, of the "Muslim Council of Britain", said: "This is bizarre. There is nothing to stop children reading about pigs. The ban is simply on the consumption of pork and pig products." " | |

Pigs are evil!
Where do they get off flying all over the place and pooping on people's automobiles right after stealing hotdogs and various condiments from street vendors? Maybe we wouldn't have this problem if all those people in New York would stop feeding them in the park all the time! SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Wouldn't offend me. Wouldn't it have anything to do with some children getting presents and others not, since their parents don't support it? Or don't they hand out presents at school?

Man, it seems like you can't do anything anymore for fear of offending SOMEbody!  Aahhh, I miss the good old says when people just said and did what they wanted, and everything wasn't so censored.

Why should we always stop our fun, it doesnt seem fair.. When my brother was 5 he came running back from school crying cos his friend who was Muslim, told him Santa doesnt exist, his Mum told him to tell all the kids at school that  | |
