A Surry Hills mother’s group has deemed a street sign deeply offensive to their children.
“Are they saying my child is slow? How offensive! I’m offended,” said local woman Rhonda. “My Tabitha is reading at a 5th grade level. Sure she’s in the 5th grade but that’s not the point.”
Clover Moore has been contacted by the group and has seen fit to remove all street signs immediately at a cost of $250,000.
“It’s a small price to pay,” said Clover. “We can’t have anyone being offended ever. Think of the children.”
A child psychologist has been consulted over the issue and concurs it’s poor thought-out signage like this that can result in low self-esteem and ultimately learning difficulties in children.
Tabitha was contacted by the Surry Hills Times but refused to comment.
