We haven’t even had time to hang the mistletoe and would you believe there are already skirmishes breaking out in the war on Christmas?
The latest yuletide battleground is Butler Elementary School in Belmont, Mass.
Over the years I’ve covered my fair share of anti-Christmas school house shenanigans. There was the dimwit who confiscated a child’s candy canes and the dunderheads who banned the colors red and green. And how can we forget about the simpletons who outlawed classroom poinsettias or the Junior League communists who rewrote the lyrics to "Silent Night"?
But those are junior varsity skirmishes compared to what happened at Butler Elementary School – where the PTA canceled a field trip to see “The Nutcracker” because there was a Christmas tree on the stage.
I’m not making this up, folks.
Television station WHDH did a stellar job reporting this act of lunacy. They report that a group of parents were alarmed at the “questionable content” of the popular ballet.

For crying out loud, just sit at home and be miserable and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.
Maybe these commie parental units could hire some Fergies to burn down the tree.
Things have gone downhill since Robert Welch died.
I guess Mitt moved out just in time.
Life imitates South Park.
Next thing you know they will hire Phillip Glass for their Holiday Show.
Oh Mr. Huskrrr,
What part of “Misery loves company do you not understand”???
“For crying out loud, just sit at home and be miserable and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.”
I second that emotion!
BTTT!
Oh, they were just mad that “The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies” didn’t include Barney Frank. I hear he can really jump.
LOL! He’s done a lot of jumping but not in the air.
Do you think they realize that there is no right in the Bill of Rights to not be offended?
same town that outlawed the sale of bottled water a few years ago.
That’s where Western Islands, the JBS’ publishing company was, right?
To those “offended by the Chrisymas tree” parents:
STFU, FU, and shove your offense up your collective Obamaholes.
Go to a land befitting your low IQs...Iran, one of the ‘ stands, hell...
Don’t mention the Bill of Rights. We can’t risk them being offended by that. What asylum do these people escape from?
It can happen anywhere when it is public schools
I keep that in mind, since my kids attend public school. But we have never experienced the kinds of crap like this I read about, even in deep blue Maryland (of course, we ARE in a mostly conservative county...)
the government schools are the same everywhere.
