MIDLOTHIAN, VA (WWBT) - A Chesterfield parent is concerned after he was told students would not be singing any Christmas songs with the word “Jesus” in them at upcoming concerts.

David Allen said he found out about the situation last week from his child who attends Robious Middle School.

"It just seems like... everywhere you look everyone's afraid of stepping on someone's toes or everything is being so sensitive," Allen said.

This is not the first time his child has taken part in the winter concert; but it’s the first time something like this has happened.

"They were unable to [sing this song] because the word Jesus was in there and apparently someone assumed it was of a sacred nature," Allen said.

Following his conversation with his child, Allen emailed the chorus teacher

Next, they'll probably start ruining Christmas songs by trying to change their lyrics, in an attempt to remove references to Jesus, and the "reason for the season".   Can you imagine, "Silent Night, Chilly Night..."?

Just like in South Park, the only music they'll allow are compositions by Philip Glass...
