the three little pigs: Pro Pig/Dog plays for school children

Recommended Posts

Should our children really be singing about nijaas pigs and dogs!

 

 

Comeback for 'non-offensive' pigs

 

Organisers of a children's concert have given the go-ahead for the three little pigs to appear, after they were banned over fears they might offend Muslims.

 

Honley Junior School in West Yorkshire was to perform the Roald Dahl story of Little Red Riding Hood and the pigs - but was told to substitute puppies.

 

Now Kirklees Council has stepped in to allow the pigs a reprieve.

 

No complaints had been made about the pigs appearing in the Kirklees Primary Music Festival event.

'Something barmy'

 

The committee organising the concert decided Muslim children may not want to sing about pigs.

 

However, council education spokesman Jim Dodds told BBC Five Live the decision had been overturned.

 

He said: "There is something barmy going on here and it has happened on my watch.

 

"I can tell you now that the three little pigs will be back into the school musical festival.

 

"The decision (to ban the pigs) was made by well-meaning people - it was the wrong decision, so let's stick with the traditions."

 

The festival is due to take place in June.

This is a lost cause let it go... it isn't going to damage them more than singing about Father Xmas and Jesus. Besides, they can always just not show up? And well within their reason.
