The Teletubbies are set to be banned in Poland after a government media watchdog decided they encouraged homosexuality. See this great slide by Serge Revet.

Tinky WinkyI'm in Poland for a meeting and conference organised by the European MOSEP project. You think the UK education policy is not always brilliant. Well this is the latest nonsense from the Polish government.

"The Teletubbies are set to be banned in Poland after a government media watchdog decided they encouraged homosexuality.

The children's TV programme has fallen foul of Poland's government-appointed Children's Rights spokesman, who believes the show is "gay propaganda".

A special committee has been appointed to examine the claims including allegations that Tinky Winky's handbag was breaking down gender barriers and encouraging homosexuality."

After a couple of beers last night we decided on a solidarity campaign with Tinky Winky. Agnieszka did a great job getting us the screen shots and Serge Ravet slipped this wonderful picture into his presentation on e-Portfolios at the conference today.
