What’s wrong with the BJP, I wonder. Why are they wasting their energies on such arbit issues? First it was the ban on Fanaa in Gujarat. Now, the Madhya Pradesh Government has decided that nursery children won’t learn “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star”, “Ba ba Black Sheep” and “Johnny Johnny, Yes Papa” from now on.
The reason given is ridiculous:
The state claims that these rhymes smack of feudal mindsets and that’s why they are being replaced by poems that are inspired by nationalism.
Says state education minister, Narottam Mishra, “We have removed some poems from the school syllabus. The decision was taken as our committee feels nationalist poems need to be taught to school kids.”

Crap! Hoping Dravidian politicians don’t follow suit..
what shit. the BJP is the devil’s agent, and you know it.
These guys are so insecure about their own identity they will do anything. Remove it from the syllabus, I dont care….. My daughter is 2, she doesnt go to school but knows the whole of “Johnny Johnny yes papa” and a couple of other rhymes, syllabus or no syllabus….
