Garry Martin, from Le Page Primary School in Melbourne, denied he was being ‘dictatorial’ by banning the word – and insisted he just wanted to stop youngsters from giggling.
'It uses gay and I just suggested to kids, 'Nowadays that can mean different things, so let's just sing a fun old time',' Martin stated.
'Political correctness is very much to the fore in schools what's appropriate and what isn't and sometimes we rightly or wrongly err on the side of caution. I guess that was hypersensitive of me.' he added.
