Kidnapped?
Well the crazies are at it again. Trying to take away Christmas..What's next? Are they going to try to keep teachers from using the Declaration of Independance to teach children American History? Oh wait, they've already done that. What next? Perhaps some school official will try and rule that the Constitution is unconstitutional. These people have totally gotten out of control. Department store employees can't even wish you a Merry Christmas. That's only the tip of the iceberg.
An article on newsday states, "The South Orange/Maplewood Board of Education voted earlier this fall to ban music with "a religious orientation or focus on religious holidays," Brian F. O'Leary, the school board president, reiterated at a Monday night board meeting." So now there's no christmas songs. No "Rupolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". "The schools' brass ensemble was allowed to play songs such as "Silent Night" or "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," in past years; this year it can't."
At Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, Washington the principle decided to cancel the school play of "A Christmas Carol". Apparently some people are too offended by Tiny Tim's famous line, "God bless us, every one!". Geez, how offensive? Riiiiggggggghhhtttt.... Dickens, wasn't even a big fan of Christian institutions. "He's considered the father of the modern secular Christmas, in which many of us celebrate with friends and family instead of attending a church service. " (Seattle Times)
In Denver Carolers have been banned at a parade. I'm glad they defyed the band and sang anyway. What's the country coming to? We have these elitist douche bags on committee's making these decisions that an overwhelming majority of the people in the district disagree with. I hope all of these morons get fired and sued for large amounts of money. Way to go liberals! See if you can suck just a little joy out of the holiday season...
I think Maggie Gallagher said it best in her op/ed article on December 8th, "When did we begin to accept the idea that it's OK to be offended by other people's displays of religion? That people who are made uncomfortable by other people's religions have a right to have those religious ideas and symbols excluded from public celebrations? Who decided that in order to enjoy a communal celebration such as a Christmas parade, we first have to get Christmas out of it?" How does you being offended by my religion make you in anyway tolerant? I don't think anyone is saying that Jews, or Muslims can not celebrate their religions. I guess it's more those with no religion. They must feel left out, because of their views, what do they have to celebrate? I suppose misery loves company... Oh well, Merry Christmas!
