A Kentucky school district is being urged to reconsider after censoring "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and other programs by removing all references to religion.

The Alliance Defending Freedom weighed in Tuesday after Johnson County Schools officials agreed to modify its holiday programming in order to avoid a potential lawsuit, a move prompted by a complaint from a parent about the classic Peanuts play.

Stupid.

I saw a Charlie Brown Christmas book, recently published, and they left out the Gospel reading part.

It’s crazy.

But why is a school showing Charlie Brown Christmas?

“County Schools officials agreed to modify its holiday programming in order to avoid a potential lawsuit”

Maybe someone should sue because they DID censor it.

One parent can cause the School Board to ban Charlie Brown and Jesus?

the school cut the line because one woman complained- and the school is ‘worried about a lawsuit’ Yet apparently the school isn’t worried about how many people are complaining that it has been removed, nor is the school worried about lawsuits coming from those who want it reinstated-

“Selective Worry” on their part

When Kentucky falls for this crap you might as well lower the American flag. It is over.

some law center is telling the school they do NOT have to cater to one voice- and hopefully the center will sue the school if the school doesn’t reinstate the line!

Here’s an idea: Right before Linus gives his scriptural speech, pause the play, stand up and identify the complaining parent by name, have them stand up, and then announce that the next portion of the play will likely be offensive to them, and that they can leave the auditorium for a few minutes. While they leave, stand silently and watch them to make sure they’re out of earshot, and then commence with the play.

It's one school district. Many of them tend to be bat-shiite insane, even in conservative states.

I live in a purple part of NY. Last year the school kids sung all the words to Silent Night at their concert.

Meanwhile, your child’s middle school will get your child to recite the Shahadah, the muslim declaration of faith.

I now believe schools should just have regular classes on December 25th and let Christians call in sick

Screw the atheists. Let them get their own holdays

Beheading Christians offends me. Make the Muslims stop it, then we can talk about Peanuts cartoons.
