Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 True. My little lad was taught Rainbow sheep at his nursery. Well, on the flipside at least you can be sure that he won't grow up to be a racist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Blimey. Someone said so on the Sun's discussion forum so it must be true! I don't know what makes me more sad, the original point on the Sun forum, or the fact it has been regurgitated on here. For starters, the whole notion of any council being "loony left" is so outdated now. Also, the poster says he is from Surrey and I'm not so sure there are any left wing councils in that neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Am I alone in finding it funny that the OP used the term "Xmas" - Are you afraid to use the word "Christ"? As for people calling this "Left wing" behaviour - Please study the meaning of these (rather binary) political descriptions, it'll save you from parading your ignorance in future. Thanks.

TheBigO Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Theres no danger he's getting that reference! That's given me a wee chuckle! Only a Sun reader (or possibly the Mail) blames political correctness on the left! Look up socialism or communism in a book. You know, those things with paper in them, and words n that.

Sharpie Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 \ As the rainbow has become somewhat of a symbol for the Gay movement, would singing about a rainbow sheep as an being something different from the majority in a song, not constitute an assumption by some as being Homophobic. The black or rainbow sheep is definitely being treated differently than the white or hetrosexual sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
