I’m all for inclusion of all people in our society. No one should be prejudiced for who they are.
BUT! Today I have to draw the line! Listening to the Play School alphabet song with my kid and it goes “A, B, C, D…X, Y, zed or zee”. Since when is this blatant destruction of our national identity accepted?
I’ll be picketing outside the ABC’s head office from tomorrow and following that the education office until this travesty can be corrected! Who’s with me?!
Huh?
Basically the song got changed in elementary school from,
“ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRS TUV WX Y and Z(ee)”
to
“ABCEFG HIJK L M N OPQ RSTUV WXY and Z”
Basically they slowed it down
So does it no longer go to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
It “does”, which makes it even worse.

Wow, that was…something. Completely dumps the rhyming “ee”. If kids are having trouble with understanding elemeno, a better solution (IMO anyway, as someone who is not in any way an early learning educator) would be to just be more staccato with annunciating the l. m. n. o. peee.
