From the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz to Meg, the good witch from the Meg and Mog children's books, witches have always dressed in black.
But their traditional attire has now come in for criticism from equality experts who claim it could send a negative message to toddlers in nursery and lead to racism.
Instead, teachers should censor the toy box and replace the pointy black hat with a pink one, while dressing fairies, generally resplendent in pale pastels, in darker shades.
Another staple of the classroom - white paper - has also been questioned by Anne O'Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity.
Children should be provided with paper other than white to drawn on and paints and crayons should come in "the full range of flesh tones", reflecting the diversity of the human race, according to the former teacher.

Henceforth, black will no longer be worn to funerals. Pink and white will be the official attire for the mourner.
It's pretty hard to write on black paper. But it does make it clear why a huge percentage of UK youth graduate from school functionally illiterate.
If they worried less about diversity and the color of their paper and more about learning to read, the entire country would be better off. But then I guess Anne O'Connor and her host of fellow diversity bureaucrats would be out of a job.
I’m sorry but I cannot have our clients sign an agreement on black paper. The letters will have to be in white and that’s a no-no in pc world. Next time, our business documents will have drawings of multi-ethnic kids singing under a rainbow with rabbits playing around and I will have to advise the opposing parties that they have to send a non=white rep to sign the papers.
Seems the diversity pimps are going to be butting heads with the ecological pimps since only recycled paper is preferred, and colored paper (that's not a racist term is it? Perhaps I should say paper of color) is verboten.
Pink? That’s sexist! /s Have these people no gender sensitivity?
Further edicts:
Pot may no longer call kettle black but may make references to its gray pallor
Political longshots shall no longer be designated as dark horses but pale horses.
This is definately someone with too much time on their hands.
"My first advice is to choose which one you want"
The reductio ad absurdum of political correctness is on full display here. If it wasn’t so incredibly destructive, it would be funny.
I’ve never seen anyone alive whose skin was the color of white paper. Idiots.
England: “White paper encourages unfair stereotypes”
Khymer Rouge: “People wearing spectacles are imperialist enemies”
LESS NUTTY / AS NUTTY / MORE NUTTY ?
Indistinguishable...?!?!?!
In other words a postmodernist libtard.
“I’ve never seen anyone alive whose skin was the color of white paper.”
Wikileaks’ Julian Assange. Not only does he issue a lot of paper but he definitely can blend in with it.
I have no problem with people who say this bullsh!+.
Just the ones who listen to it.
For that matter, we don't even call them "black" anymore -- unless we want to be called racist for calling them "black".
Or calling them "them", for that matter.
(oops.)
The gray-skinned space aliens might object. And you don't want THEM mad at you.
Ungland...
she gets paid for this bullshiite with tax payer dollars in other words. how unsurprising.
