Residents in Mansfield, Mass. are crying “bah humbug” after the local elementary school cancelled its annual holiday concert and replaced it with a program on anti-bullying.

The holiday production at Jordan-Jackson Elementary School has been a long-time tradition in the community. But last year’s performance drew complaints from some parents who objected to the religious nature of the show.

How about the ungodly bullying the Christians in that community? No one is forcing atheists to come to Christmas concerts....or even enrolling their children in that school.

The kids being bullied in our school systems - with the support of teachers - are children from traditional families. There something about them that incompetent union types just don’t like...

The Christmas Concert last night at my daughter’s’ high school was wonderful! I was joking with our Pastor, who also attended, that the kids sang more Carols and Hymns than I church group will be singing when we do our annual Caroling this Sunday for shut ins and at nursing homes.

They should show the hot dog vendor in MI as a case in point on how to bully.

“Anti-bullying” is simply “you can’t say anything derogatory about homos”.

You mean the anti-bullying pigs are bullying the Christians by cleansing their culture from the public school? Anyone else targeted. Bet American-whites and their history of of creating freedom for all, is erased in Socialist studies, too. Racists/marxists/socialists are that way.

” But last year’s performance drew complaints from some parents who objected to the religious nature of the show.”

So yet again the “some” get their way over the many.

Every Christmas season, every year, the news is the same. Yet another town in the state of Massachusetts decides to trample on other peoples freedoms by stopping them from enjoying the holiday the way they please. Why doesn’t the entire state of Massachusetts just get it all over with and ban the celebration of Christmas by everybody who resides on the state?

No Christmas themed movies allowed to air on local tv stations. No one allowed to dress like Santa Claus. No Santa Claus in any mall. The possession, distribution and sales of Christmas trees and other assorted Christmas decorations strictly forbidden. No singing of Christmas carols allowed in public and private places. To make sure no Christmas carols are sung in private, the state will recruit school kids to report to the government on any member of their family who dares to violate this prohibition. No Christmas themed gift wrapping paper allowed to be manufactured or sold. All copies of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens to be removed from all public libraries. No bookstore is allowed to sell copies either. All theatrical performances of A Christmas Carol are hereby banned. Same for The grinch who stole Christmas, a Charlie brown Christmas, and all rankin-bass Christmas specials. The printing, purchase, and exchanges of Christmas cards are also banned. Greeting anybody with the salutation, “Merry Christmas” will be brought up on hate crime charges and face possible fines and imprisonment.
