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?!

I always knew it as zee growing up. It worked in the rhyme.

“W, X, Y and Zee, now I know my A B Cs, next time won’t you sing with me” (that last line is probably a separate argument on its own 😂).

Then Dragon Ball Z hit Australian TV and it was done after that.

LMNOP is gone. They fucking killed it.

Close, but not quite. It’s actually “L M N O P”, but that’s okay keep trying!! ;)

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?
