(CathNews) Santa will not be visiting students in St. Peter, Minnesota this year. Muslim immigrants got him cancelled. The MinnPost reported, via Pat Dollard:
Santa Claus, as portrayed by Dennis Jackson, wont be visiting students at the Head Start classes in St. Peter this year.
Jackson has made appearances the past four years at the classes for students who need help preparing for school, but this year officials said, No, no, no.
The reason: The classes have many immigrant children who dont celebrate Christmas, says the Mankato Free Press.
Santas a little frosted, the paper says.
It kind of burnt me up, he said.
The official explanation from Chris Marben, who coordinates regional Head Start programs through Mankato-based Minnesota Valley Action Council: We have Somali families in the program. Were respecting the wishes of families in the program.
She didnt say how many objections were made, but said more than one would be enough to cancel Santa
Jackson said hes played Santa with children from other cultures before and they were fully comfortable with him. He said its their parents who are being unreasonable.
Theyre not respecting the majority, he said. My feeling is (objecting parents) can take their kids out of class for half an hour and let the other kids enjoy it. They should sacrifice, not rule.

IMHO, the problem does not begin with the words “Santa Claus”, but rather with the words “Head Start”.

They certainly are NOT respecting the families who are Christian, are they?

I will guarantee you that not a single Somalian objected. The ones complaining were liberal social workers or other workers in the relief agencies sponsoring the refugees taking it upon themselves to complain on the Somalians' behalf. I have seen morons like this.

He should just set up on the sidewalk outside school and not let school officials run his life.
Don’t give them the power. Do what you want to do and treat them as the insignificant ants they are.

The cancer cells are in place and growing in MN. I wonder how long it will take for people to realize they are infected? The answer should have been, “This is America and as the saying goes WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS DO!”

I thought people came to AMERICA to become Americans and assimilate to our culture and way of life??? Why do WE have to accomodate visitors who wish to not know America and only want free money??

And are the Somalis paying for this program? No! We are! But “we must respect THEIR wishes”?

Santa Clause has NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING to do with actual Christianity.
He is as secular and/or pagan as the Tree and gift giving the holly and the mistletoe.
Queue South Park's “Santa Clause -vs- Jesus” the grudge match of the millennium! :)
