“A digital book based on the story of the Three Little Pigs has been rejected by judges presiding over the annual BETT awards of the government’s educational technology tentacle, Becta, because the literary deployment of porkers “raises cultural issues”.”

This isn’t a new issue, just kind of hilarious that it exists.

    Is this issue back again. I presume the unspoken issue is that pigs are offensive to muslims (and jews.. the only thing they actually agree on!)

    List of things muslims are offended by

    Wasn’t there a police community watch ad that got the same sort of storm in a teacup for the same sorts of reasons but relating to dogs instead of pigs?
