Default political correctness in our schools

Political correctness is running rampant in our schools these days with the words to various nursery rhymes being changed. For instance, bah bah black sheep is now bah bah wooly sheep.

Kids are not allowed to be called boy or girl anymore such as good boy, it must now be good child. This is how all schools are now supposed to behave.

Somebody on another forum posted this version of waltzing matilda that will have to be adopted to conform to the rules

"Once a jolly swagperson temporarily halted by a water source
Under the shade of a Coca-Cola tree
And he or she sang as he or she watched and he or she waited till his or her kettle boiled using renewable solar power
"Will you consent to parambulate around the dance floor, Matilda, with me? Please?"

Down come an introduced livestock species to drink at the water source
Up jumped the swagperson and grabbed him or her or it with glee
And he or she sang as he or she shoved that introduced livestock species in his or her recepticle
"Will you consent to parambulate around the dance floor, Matilda, with me? Please?"


Up rode the illegally residing on crown land person mounted on his or her introduced livestock species of the equine variety
Up rode the Peacekeepers - one, two, three
"Where's that introduced livestock species you've got in your recepticle?",
"Will you consent to parambulate around the dance floor, Matilda, with me? Please?"

Up jumped the swagperson and jumped into the water source
"You'll never catch me alive " said he or she.
And his or her ghost may be heard as you pass by the water source,
"Will you consent to parambulate around the dance floor, Matilda, with me? Please?"

Political correctness is just going too far and I think they are doing more damage than good with all these changes.
