Parents thrown off bus over snorting song

A couple in Britain were thrown off a bus and branded racists after singing the Peppa Pig theme tune to their autistic daughter.  Nick Barnfield and Sarah Cleaves were travelling with their daughter Heidi on a bus from Sheffield to Doncaster when the 15-month-old started crying. The couple, started singing the song in an effort to cheer their daughter up, but say they were branded racists by another passenger and told to get off the bus by its driver. The couple claimed the woman, who they say was wearing a hijab, took offence to the snorting sounds in the song. Source.  [ECS]
