My son was playing on Nick Jr.'s Free Draw making a Christmas tree and when he went to write 'merry Christmas' The program would not allow him to type the word Christmas on his drawing. The error message was "Word Blocked" (also blocked where the words and phrases: Savior, Pope, Blessed virgin Mary, St. Nick, Hark the herald angels sing, Silent night, Away in the manger, no crib for his head, and even 'Obama is the AntiChrist', but I think it was because of the word Christ, not Obama, because I was able to write his name alone.)
I was able to type in muhammed, Hanukkah, Eid and Kwanzaa and anything pagan like Yule, Beltaine, Samhain etc. So it seems that only the Christian celebration of this season is unacceptable. I quickly sent emails to Nick Jr. and Viacom Inc. which owns the brand as well as TV Land, Paramount Pictures, CMT and many others.

Ok - I can type anything I want in there. I haven’t tried any curse words, but so far, I haven’t had a single word blocked.
Strange.

Thanks for the link. This looks to me true. Try “Bible” and “Koran”. Guess which on is allowed?

‘war’, ‘fight’, ‘gun’ ‘soldier’ — all blocked.
‘jihad’, ‘infidel’, ‘Quran’, ‘martyr’ — fine & dandy.

Not a “reason to homeschool,” but a heads up for all parents of small children out there.
