So she was kicking up a fuss..
Did some official or government person somewhere tell her off for singing Bah bah black sheep, was she telling somebody off for singing it. More info please and not second hand tittle tattle. The myth was created by Daily mail journalists in the 1980s, as a poke at Lambeth Council. It was conceived over a pub lunch as a bit of a joke. Unfortunaltely it got bigger than a joke and now many people actually believe it.
Political correctness can be ludicrous but I can remember when people described the colour of their shoes as "N1gger Brown" and not intending to be racist but none the less being offensive. Thank god that phrase has gone out of existense.
Think for yourself. Don't just accept what you are told as gospel, If something sounds outrageous to you then it probably is.
