The lastest Holiday Offense: We must ban Rudolph and Santa

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was almost grounded at Murrayville Elementary School this week after a parent complained about the classic Christmas song’s inclusion in her daughter’s upcoming kindergarten concert.

The objecting parent was upset about the words “Christmas” and “Santa” in the song, feeling that they carried religious overtones.

That prompted the song to be pulled from the upcoming holiday concert, which in turn upset more parents.

Granted Santa has as much to do with Christmas as Tinkerbell, but still....

Where was this? I didn't read it yet but what state? The more the nut jobs like this come out the more people migrate to somewhere less-PC.

Reading the story, the Jewish mother had wanted to have the school sing a Hanukkah song but the school didn't return her phone call. Thus I guess she had to have what she felt the "Christian" song pulled in revenge.

It looks like instead of an anti-religious person pulling it, it's a case of "well the school won't represent MY religion, so nobody gets to be represented!" This isn't quite the norm... One religion feels they are discriminated against by a public entity.

With that said, the story said it was Murrayville Elementary. I ran a background check on that name, and came up with Wilmington, North Carolina

Easter is offensive to non Christians. The 4th of July and Thanksgiving are offensive to non Americans.

Exactly.

I was listening to Dennis Prager talk about this last week on his radio show while driving around in CA. He was told and then later confirmed that the song, "Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer", was actually written by a Jewish songwriter.

Talk about irony.
