According to the school’s diversity page, there were songs that had been previously used that had a questionable past. One of the examples the school listed was “Jingle Bells.”

The school noted that other questionable songs were removed from the curriculum and “are no longer in our repertoire, and are replaced with more contemporary, and relevant content.”

The Beacon reports that the school’s decision was based on a 2017 article written by Boston University Professor Kyna Hamill. Hamill alleged she had found documents proving the song had first been performed publicly at a minstrel show in 1857.

When told of the primary school’s decision, the professor said she was stunned.

“I am actually quite shocked the school would remove the song from the repertoire. … I, in no way, recommended that it stopped being sung by children,” she told the newspaper. “My article tried to tell the story of the first performance of the song, I do not connect this to the popular Christmas tradition of singing the song now.”

They were Minstralating..

Oh yeah - I’m sure the school has shifted to carols that purely represent the Christian aspect of Christmas.

CANCEL CULTURE: New York Primary School Bans ‘Jingle Bells’

Ok, so since the far-left, socialist/communist Democrat Party Cabal is now banning "Jingle Bells," may as well go all the way and create a new federal ban against all music throughout the United States.

AFAIK, there are lots of far-left, socialist/communist Democrats in the music industry, so that new federal ban against all music should (I repeat, "should") be enough to finally convince idiotic Democrat/RINO voters that the moron Democrat/RINO politicians have already gone too far and that it's time to bring back normal, common-sense politicians such as President Trump. Amirite, far-left, socialist/communist Colbert?

And from the Vietnam era:

Jingle bells,
mortar shells,
VC in the grass.
Do me a favor and stick Christmas
Right up your *ss...

[usurper]

Ok guys - let’s go trolling and adopting woke ideology as a proper white supremacist philosophy and do minstrel performances of it!

It could also be a good way to get rid of RAP.

[high info voter]

Well yes - we have to totally go into the 1935 Marxist agenda for your kids!!

Oh what fun it is to ride in a beat up Chevrolet... 🤓

Yes it needs to go... It is against beat up Dodges, Fords, Hondas, Lexus, Lincolns or any other cars... 🤓

[DPMD]

The words “the” and “and” were used in the same minstrel show, so...

[glennaro]

These are the ignorant b@stards who are teaching American children how to be productive members of society. They aren’t “woke”; they’re in a feckin’ time-warp coma.

[napscoordinator]

Their working on it. The more Muslims we let in and those coming illegally will eventually demand Christmas be banned. It’s coming sooner then we can even imagine.

[Chode]

on what possible grounds...

[Truth29]

Pick some to push back. Was there deliberate anti-Christian animus in the decision? Did the School officials work with organizations who intended to discriminate against Christians and fund anti-Christian views? This is a civilizational war and every decision like this one is a step to dissolve Western Civ.

[BatGuano]

“And discriminatory against men who identify as bats...”

Aghhh, You got me there!

Merry Christmas!

It has a sleigh. The horse is a slave, the sleigh is elite.

Grandma’s house. Two things: An identifiable Grandma, and a house.

And dashing through the Snow - it’s White, and maybe cocaine!

So I tried looking at the lyrics.

And found this”

I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upset

Hey! where did this Miss FANNY Bright come from?

And stick in the snow bank.... [must avoid hypothermia]

I might ban it too.

[bgill]

Like anyone actually wrote that down...

My first thought as well. Supposedly, slaves did wear bells. Did a quick search. First I've heard of it though. Mighty stupid owners thinking slaves wouldn't stuff some of that picked cotton around the clapper so it is silenced.

Change Batman to Biden.

I remember working for AT&T and they made sure we didn’t have any religious references to Christmas, just Winter Holiday. They made the mistake of asking the predominantly black high school choir to sing at the Winter luncheon. They sang only religious songs.

[chalkfarmer]

Jingle Bells is actually a Thanksgiving song.
