Oops! Here's a proper Canadian looney:
The Canadian loonie replaced the Canadian dollar bill in 1987. Another loonie was merely a fifteen year old for most of 1987. Little has changed.

The audition date was set.
On Dec. 4, students at Alexander Hamilton High School in Elmsford, N.Y., would have the chance to flaunt their vocal chops with the hopes of landing a role in the drama club’s highly anticipated spring musical: Disney’s “Tarzan.”
But just days before the scheduled tryouts, administrators announced a change of plans. Instead of “Tarzan,” the Westchester County high school would be putting on a musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”
The reason for the abrupt change? Two parents complained about racism. “The concerns were over the original story line behind ‘Tarzan of the Apes,’ ” Elmsford Union Free School District Superintendent Marc P. Baiocco told the Journal News, referencing Edgar Rice Burroughs’s story, which was first published in 1912.
Baiocco added that the parents were also troubled by the possibility that nonwhite students would appear as apes onstage. According to state education data, the district that includes Alexander Hamilton serves a diverse student population. More than 50 percent of students are Hispanic or Latino and about 23 percent are black or African American.

If I recall, Tarzan was about a boy who was lost in the jungle. I doubt it is racist, sexist or anything else. Liberals, it is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. It couldn’t be done in reality.
Tell them a tranny girl is gonna play Tarzan and some fag will be Jane, problem solved.
I think you are wrong about that.
That was why it got passed by the PC Nannies...
Forgive me, but I find that hilarious. Is that how they were cast in the play?
So tired of snowflakery. My kindergarten class performed Little Black Sambo. In blackface. People today would rend their clothes and gnash their teeth feigning offense.
New York just banned gawa conversion therapy, so ungawa has been pushed to unsafe back alleys.

The inbred leftists have obviously never read the series of Tarzan books.
We need to make gawaing safe and rare.

No judgeship for you!
May have a Governors spot available though.

Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs has been re-titled.
Climate Crisis Melanin Challenged and the 7 Little People.
little black sambo was from india ...
Little Black Sambo, in hard copy, is present in our children’s and future grandchildren a library. The girls love it.
It is so hard to believe that we used to have a restaurant chain called Sambos OMG can you imagine that today!!!
I think Twelfth Night will be a problem too. Let me explain…
Twelfth Night is by William Shakespeare. In the name William there are 7 letters. If you add 7 (William) to 12 (Twelfth Night) you get 19.
We all know of course that 19 is a racist number.
Louis Farrakhan from his speech at the “million” man march:
“There in the middle of this Mall is the Washington Monument, 555 feet high. But if we put a one in front of that 555 feet, we get 1555, the year that our first fathers landed on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia, as slaves. In the background is the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial. Each one of these monuments is 19 feet high. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president, Thomas Jefferson the third president, and 16 and 3 make 19 again. What is so deep about this number 19? Why are we standing on the Capitol steps today? That number 19, when you have a nine, you have a womb that is pregnant, and when you have a one standing by the nine, it means that there’s something secret that has to be unfolded.”
Words fail me......
Tiger butter...
No one is going to be forced to play an ape.
Is it racist if nonwhite students volunteer to play apes?
