Virginia School Bans Songs Mentioning ‘Jesus’ From Christmas Concert

A middle school in Virginia has come under fire for an overly-politically correct decision regarding their annual Christmas choir concert.
 

A letter explained that the decision was made as part of an effort to be “more sensitive” toward an increasingly “diverse population” within the school’s student body.

An email exchange between one parent and the choir teacher reveals that the decision was evidently made due to complaints by a few easily-triggered individuals.

The easiest solution would be for the people "triggered" by Christian Christmas music to stay home. :bullie smokin:

I guess they're not calling it a "Christmas" concert, then. "Wintertime," perhaps.

Promoting diversity through exclusion?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Well now, there's no point in having a Christmas Concert without mentioning Jesus, is there?

Cancel the concert.  There's no reason for the season.

Public schools do that better than anybody these days.

Temporarily,while it suits their purposes. They will have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for attendance at religious holiday events once they establish their desired Muslim Caliphate. People who DON'T attend will be executed.

There is not one single sane reason we should ever allow ANY Muslims into America. It is NOT discrimination or a violation of religious freedom to refuse admittance to any population that is an enemy who has sworn to overthrow the US and turn it into a Muslim police state.  The Bill of Rights are NOT  a suicide pact.

Exactly! They are intentionally 'triggering' people by calling it a 'Christmas Concert', which is completely asinine to begin with since only a moron would even think they could have anything Christmas without CHRIST! Just think of the joy and work the the school kids will have singing and playing those powerful tunes, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Deck the Halls and Jingle Bells, yessiree nothing says Christmas Concert like simple secular tunes! I wonder if they will be able to sing that classic 'Barrack Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm'? Freakin socialists. 9999hair out0000
