Mother tries to ban Rudolph

Quote:

The kindergartens of North Carolina's Murrayville Elementary practiced a rendition of "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in music class to prep for a PTA holiday performance until one mother objected to what she thought were religious overtones in it. The woman felt the words "Santa" and "Christmas" in the lyrics should not be taught in public school and petitioned that the song be removed from the program. The school board ruled that it was an appropriate tune and allowed the children to perform it.

WTF?! religious overtones in a song about a mutant reindeer?! :dead:

Atheistic fundamentalists are even worse than any kind of religious wackos.

I find it sad that our society is all about f*cking whatever you like, acting like a complete tool in public, and binging on every mind-altering substance known to man, yet people keep getting more and more restrictive about sh*t like Christmas songs.

I wish Galactus would show the f*ck up already.

You would think that one of the other parents told her to shut the **** up before this even got to the school board...

I think they're both equally pieces of crap. Honestly, it's a freaking song that doesn't even have anything to do with Jesus or God or any of that. Hell, I know people who celebrate Christmas secularly. Man, the idiots of this world will get offended by everything but the important stuff.

Observation =/= Complaint.

I wonder if this mother happens to be heavyset, with a deep red beehive hairdo, and can justifiably be classified as a Yenta...

No, her hair is silver. Plus, she's affiliated with Christmas. Come on, now.
