Muslim Immigrants Get Santa Cancelled in Minnesota
Getway Pundit ^ | 12/20/10 | Jim Hoft

(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, won’t 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 don’t celebrate Christmas, says the Mankato Free Press.

Santa’s 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. We’re respecting the wishes of families in the program.”

She didn’t say how many objections were made, but said more than one would be enough to cancel Santa…

Jackson said he’s played Santa with children from other cultures before and they were fully comfortable with him. He said it’s their parents who are being unreasonable.

“They’re 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.”

The word merit should have been mirrors. Sorry about the typo.

Funny, I knew that is what you meant; but thought 'merit' could work; if only by a little stretch/lol.

And 'no problem' of course. Have no good excuse for my errors; save impatience; which sometimes includes, misplaced fingers or just not wanting to look for my glasses before responding. . .

One or two assholes whine, and the majority have to suffer.

The very definition of TYRANNY.

“One would think they’d be rather familiar with the teachings of an anagram of Santa.”

Could it be...SATAN?

What does the American government expect? These folks have NO intention of assimilating; send them home they don't like it. At take their bloody cultic buttwipe book with them. I have not heard one single Imam, or mulah mention anything about their own violence, it's all about how we should submit, well screw them, may Santa and his reindeer poop on their ugly homes this year.

And yes, agreed to the person who wrote,"I can now see wht the Crusades began. Granted many were ill fated but something had to be done. These folks are still fighting only now it's the whole world they want; we cannot allow them to do this, one bloody scourge from Africa, to India, to almost all of Europe is enough.

They are leaning to the contrary; that they do not have to 'love' it; save their funding; and they do not have to leave. Nor do they have to tolerate the freedoms Americans enjoy; and this, they are learninhg real fast.

Frankly, don't get the weakness of those making these decisions. Is Liberalism their only excuse? Get rid of these dangerous apparatchiks for Islam and for the Left. . Get rid of all of them.

Our Freedoms are being challenged; and we need a majority with collective backbone, to respond.

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

Agree 100%. Another worthless taxpayer funded program that produces no viable positive results. However, it does make those pos social workers feel good about themselves and how they are forcing those evil rich taxpayers to fund a program for the less privileged. And they get to tell the poor parents how much to government is doing for them and their children!

Most other cultures, no problem. But Islam is another matter entirely.

Is this Keith Ellison's district?

One or two Muslims protesting privately get their way.

Meantime, hundreds of non-Muslims who question this must do it publicly, by name, and get no redress.

It’s like we are already under Shari’a law!

Yeah, it’s kind of funny. They used to go after Jesus and try to X-mas him out of the equation. I guess they feel they did so well with that, that now they can elevate Frosty and disappear Santy. I’ve been noticing that there are only about 10 Christmas songs that still get played on muzak and the radio station that plays Christmas music. They’re the only ones that are completely secular.

BTW, I used to dislike the abbreviation X-mas, but I read a few years ago that it is hundreds of years old and literally means “Cross” or “Christ” Mass, so it’s ok.

I look at Santa Claus as a metaphor for Jesus. Having Santa come down the chimley and bring presents and sweets for the children is a reminder of the Greater Gift that God made to us of his Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

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.

Well past time to abolish public schools.

Sharia Law, here we come....

Life among the kufir.

Excuse me, when did these muslim settlers (establishing a Saudi funded colony) bother to file a grievance over the name “St. Peter”?

Or are they going to pick their selective outrages?

So, in deference to the Somali families, hang some burned dummies from a bridge and simulate screwing some goats.

Islamic supremacists don't care about the majority. They care only about Islam.

Those Christians and secularists would still be engaged something prohibited by Islam.

I thought people came to AMERICA to become Americans and assimilate to our culture and way of life???

The Saudis are funding settlements here. And they do not permit an "exchange" of cultural beliefs, Bibles and such will be seized and burned by the state if they are found in Saudi Arabia.
