Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep

Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep

Nursery school bosses ordered the words of the rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep to be altered to Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.

The change was made to avoid offending children after teachers examined the nursery's equal opportunities policy.

Stuart Chamberlain, manager of the Sure Start Centre in Oxford, could not explain why children might be offended.

But he said: "No one should feel pointed out because of their race, gender or anything else.

"We've taken the equal opportunities approach to everything we do.

"This is fairly standard across nurseries. We are following stringent equal opportunities rules."
