That is so stupid. A nursery rhyme being discriminating.

Watch out next thing will be the ugly duckling.

Or, the "aesthetically challenged" duckling...

This is becoming ridiculous. It is making a mockery of all the good work put into anti discrimination and equal opportunities policies. People just don't know when to stop.

As there is no black in a rainbow will black people not say that they're being discriminated against?

I wear a lot of black. Can I make this statement? If not, what should I say?

Please don't give "them" ideas, MrsK...

"I'm dreaming of a colourless holiday time in December" Will that do, do you think?

Nursery rhymes should only be viewed in their original context. They are inoffensive now (in my opinion) and they certainly were then. I think the clue is in the word Nursery.

Humpty Dumpty was actually a tale about a very large cannon

Political correctness? - makes me sick. How do these wet-lettuce types manage to have such influence over the majority of people who think its all bollocks? (sorry, male reproductive glands)

They've been saying about doing this since I was at school..it never comes to anything.

Remember this is in the daily mail..it must have been a slow news day. They do like to get their knickers in a twist.

Rock-a-Bye-Baby was the one that got me most of all... "When the bough

breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all"!!

Even as a little kid, I was horrified!!
