    Have We Sunk This Low?

    A parent in Wilmington NC complained about the song "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" being included in a 'holiday', nay Christmas play. The parent thought that having the words 'Christmas' and 'Santa' in the song carried religious overtones. The school board decided that neither Santa nor Rudolph were religious figures. I'd bet if you asked the kids (including the child of the offended parent) they'd wonder what all the fuss was about and they would just want to perform the play they worked hard on.

    Evidently, since we are bringing up religous talk on this forum against the TOS.

            THIS THREAD IS LOCKED.

            PLEASE, mods, stay away from POLITICAL and RELIGIOUS topics! If this sort of thing continues, we're going to have to start temporarily banning some of the mods!

            P.S. Obviously, it isn't locked, and I have no authority to lock a thread, much less a mod's thread, but I just thought it would be funny. I hope the mods agree. Don't hurt me.

                  I didn't think it was religious. Santa is to Christmas as the Easter Bunny is to Easter. Neither is religious. That being said, I can lock threads, so this thread is locked.
