Parents offended by "Nutcracker" Christmas tree

As far as I can tell, the Nutcracker has always been a Christmas-setting play / ballet. Does the PTA not understand this?

See Christmas tree in B&W photo of debut of Nutcracker.

The Nutcracker

What am I overlooking?

[jazusamo]

I hear you but it’s across the country.

The other day my youngest granddaughter in middle school told me they were learning about Muslims.

I asked if they had learned about Christians or Jews and she said no.

I did a slow burn.

[workerbee]

Not really.

(not biting tonight, G!)

[jazusamo]

You’re correct and overlooking nothing.

Many members of the PTA now evidently don’t understand it.

[MaxMax]

What group of Parents? Probably three single or lesbian moms.
How many?

When psychopaths want to get something done they only need to find one
person to agree. Hell will welcome these degenerates for perverting Children.

[generally]

A play about alternative lifestyle choices would have been acceptable.

Anime Christmas?

[workerbee]

I know that the public schools here have a Fellowship of Christian Athletes club. That our "sex ed" is biologically- and abstinence-based thru high school. That our music programs include Christian songs (including a beautifully sung rendition of O Holy Night last year).

I know public schools aren't perfect, but it is simply false (and in some cases, lying) to color every one of them with the "extremist" brush.

“... at the “questionable content” of the popular ballet.”

Questionable content of a Christmas Tree on stage while watching a bunch of fairies in leotards dancing .... bet they would have gone if Princess Rahm Emanuel was giving an encore performance!

[dfwgator]

Oh, they were just mad that “The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies” didn’t include Barney Frank. I hear he can really jump.

So can he.

"Nutcracker?"

Beulah Balbricker is not amused.

[jmacusa]

Yeah, with them tied to it.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Belmont, once the home of a fairly influential John Birch Society. Today, the home of Marxist fairies.

[ApplegateRanch]

Dear Sir:

How am I supposed to sit home silently, not speaking out, when I KNOW you are publicly (and I must add I am deeply offended by your explicit sexual innuendo) “enjoying yourselves”?

[Huskrrrr]

LOL!

Yes. Robert Welch used to live there and I believe the JBS headquarters was there. They’ve since moved to Wisconsin. Even in his day, Belmont was a very liberal town — lots of Harvard and MIT faculty there — and they’ve only become more liberal through the years.
