Principal Garry Martin of Le Page Primary School in Melbourne, Australia has gained national news attention for changing the words in a children’s song. The principal asked to the children to remove the word gay in the classic children’s song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree." The song about a native Australian bird is a favorite around campfires from New Zealand to Canada.  When teaching a group of elementary students the lyrics, Martin told them that gay had two meanings, so they should change the line from “gay your life must be” to “fun your life must be.” [1] Martin claims that the change was to keep the children from laughing during the song; he told the Associated Press, "It wasn't misplaced political correctness, it wasn't homophobia, there was nothing really calculated in doing it." After one student relayed the change to his or her parents, Martin’s choice exploded into controversy, alerting local LGBT organizations. Crusader Hillis, CEO of the gay and lesbian advocacy group The Also Foundation, states that the controversy and attention that this story is getting is well founded. "It sends a signal to people that just because a word has two meanings, that one of those meanings is unacceptable and that's really putting us backwards," Hillis said. Principal Martin admits that his decision is a mistake and plans to teach the children the difference that words can have across generations.
