3 Little Pigs CD Banned From UK Awards For Fear Of Offending Muslims
Louie’s Uncle Louie is pissed…
From the Daily Mail:
A story based on The Three Little Pigs has been rejected by a Government-backed annual awards event because the subject matter could offend Muslims.
The digital book, retelling the classic fairytale by depicting pigs as builders, was criticised by a judging panel who claimed “the use of pigs raises cultural issues”.
They refused to shortlist the product which has already won awards and even claimed that The Three Little Cowboy Builders might also “alienate parts of the workforce (building trade)”.
But critics yesterday accused Becta, the Government’s educational technology agency, which jointly runs the awards along with Emap Education and the British Educational Suppliers Association (Besa), of “political correctness gone mad”.
