“the fact that “Jingle Bells” was first performed in minstrel shows where white actors performed in blackface...IS a lye.

The son is obviously a song about a winter sleigh ride in the snow. The bells are on the horses who pull the sleigh. The passengers are a young couple, who could have been any color. Probably a song penned in 1800s.

The district assistant superintendent for Brighton also told the Rochester Beacon that some suggest the use of collars on slaves with bells may be connected to the origin of the song and that even though they are not taking a stance of whether or not that is true, that line of thinking is not in agreement with "district beliefs."

By their own admission, truth does not matter.

All that matters is narrative.

Liberals are the biggest racists on the planet, the party of the Perpetually Offended.

“Does no one do research before knocking off things?”

Right. The current people connected to education at any level are simply the dumbest people ever to abide in this country. Yes I do have a Master’s but I also read. I’m from another generation. I’ve been singing Jingo Bells all my life.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Just another small step in the eradication of any Christian holiday.

"It is taking away a Christmas tradition. That's a tradition, like so many traditions, that we need to lose if it's tied to slavery or racism. It's just that simple," Ferguson said.

So, both George Floyd and the founder of Kwaanza were "tied" to horrendous woman abuse and criminal acts, but they're not cancelled. But anything Christian must be cancelled based on a rumor and hysterical fantasies of connection to slavery. For the love of God; leftists are freaking crazy.
