“Understandably, parents are befuddled. One telling the Herald, I am a person who has black skin. Can we please stop with the political correctness, its becoming a joke. The song is called baa baa black sheep. No need to change it!

Baa, baa, African-American sheep, have you any wool?

The end.
To: rktman
Racism is when someone is mistreated or favored because of their race.
Baa, baa black sheep does not qualify.
Yet another example of libs getting upset because they just like getting upset.
