18 March 2007The Three Little Pigs become Puppies to avoid offending Muslim students in a Church of England school
London, March 18, Interfax - Organizers of the Kirklees Primary Music Festival in Honley Church of England Junior School in Huddersfield changed the traditional Three Little Pigs tale to make it more politically correct.
The main characters of the tale became the Three Little Puppies since the festival organizers were concerned that mentioning of pigs however little could offend Muslim children’s religious feelings.
‘We have to be sensitive if we want to be multi-cultural. It was felt it would be more responsible not to use the three little pigs,’ Gill Goodswen, one of the organizers of the festival, said. But local councilors stepped in to reverse the decision which they said was well-intentioned but wrong.
‘Everyone knows the story of the Three Little Pigs, and other nursery stories as well. We have all read them to our own children and grandchildren. I am sure that no-one is offended by any wording within any of those traditional stories,’ the Telegraph cited the words of a city councilor.
