Mother Goose

The Southern segregationists
who are finding race treason in
a handful of children's books and
stories ought to be ashamed of
themselves. Their research has
been shockingly careless, and in
their rush to clean up public Ii
brary shelves south of the Mason
Dixon line, they have overlooked
Mother Goose, an insidious virus
in every nursery.
''Hickety, pickety, my black
hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen;
Gentlemen come every day
To see what my black hen
doth lay"
How come the White Councils
missed that verse about my
black hen?" Doesn't that line sug-
gest subtly to tender minds that
only black hens are capable of
laying eggs suitable for gentle
men? Isn't there slur here
against white hens? Isn't the
whole poem a preachment on the
superiority of the Negro race?
And what about Mary and her
little lamb with fleece as White
as snow?" There's a second stanza
in that poem which is highly sus-
pect:
He followed her to school one
Gay
Which was against the rule:
1t made the children laugh
and play
To see a lamb at school,"
Now just how far is this prop
uganda to be allowed to go? Here
is a plain case Of deliberate ridi-
culing of any white who goes to
school, as if no white in h G
South ever could be more than a
spectacle for mirth in his attempt
to get a little education. Will the
South tolerate this shameful
thing?
There's another Mother Goose

I first found out about this
group the other day when I went
