Three little pigs not PC

The government’s political correctness brigade have been up to their old tricks again, this time it concerns that old tale of the Three Little Pigs.

This story has been around for years and taught in schools and nurseries as one of the first stories that children learn, but it would seem that this may not be the case for much longer as the tale of the three pigs could possible offend Muslims.

The book was up at the Bett Award for schools, where Becta the government educational technology agency is a leading hand, but this was not the only book that Three Little Cowboy Builders was attacked for offending builders. Where will it all end?
