Maybe they could stage an “honor killing” or a stoning for Show & Tell as well.

“The people who complained were concerned about the very narrow focus on Santa Claus,” French said yesterday

It's too bad that some people's spines have the consistency of gruel. How sad that they cave so easily.

I get the impression that the complaints came from Christians, not from PC types. Of course, the article is not specific.

“If you don’t want to send your child, don’t send your child, but don’t ruin it for the rest,” said one parent who requested anonymity."

That's what I thought. Those who weren't allowed to go could be placed elsewhere in the school - gym, library, etc.

Can’t be, there aren’t any Christians left in Winchester.

You have it. Unfortunately, most people prefer to vent.

Is there anything that people don't complain of? The hypersensitivity of our country is stunning.

One problem with public schools is they waste time on silly crap like Santa Claus movies, etc. instead of teaching things like reading/riting/rithmatic.

The school district that my kids attend does allow things like this (at the holidays). It is a one day, ‘special’ that is a priviledge that can (and is) taken away for bad behavior/grades, etc. Think of it as an end of the semester reward. Still...can’t quite grasp the prob. w/’Miracle.’

Same for me. I’m getting so tired of this crap! Today you are not allowed to say or do anything that may offend anyone. Oh wait a minute. Except of course if you are Christian, a white male, or conservative,
