This has gone too far

Apparently some nut job of a mother thinks Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is a religious song because it contains the words Christmas and Santa. Someone slap her please.

This happened in North Carolina (I must call my brother and tell him they are nutso in his state) where the Christmas song "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was temporarily banned from being sung by children at a Christmas concert. A mother (Jewish) complained that the song contained the words "Christmas" and "Santa," words which she believes carry religious overtones and finds offensive. This is bad as Nobama wanting to change the Star Spangled Banner to I Want to Teach the World to Sing because the Star Spangled Banner is a violent song, ever read the words to the French National Anthem, it gets a XXX rating for the violence. Back to this nut job of a mother, Santa Claus is certainly not a Christian theme. A spokesperson for the school said the mother was afraid her daughter would hear those words which are associated with Christmas and make the connection between Santa Clause and Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Here's a thought - her daughter has probably already made that connection. When I hear Rudolph I dont think of the birth of Christ, I think of Santa trekking across the sky with a reindeer whose nose is so red you can see it anywhere. Perhaps Santa needs a GPS and then we can right a new politically correct song for this "mom."

The complaining mother is Jewish and wanted a Hanukkah song included in the program - since they were singing "Rudolph" she felt that she should have a religious song of her faith included, as well. The school board ruled that "Rudolph" is not a religious song and can be included in the program. As it stands right now, the children are supposed to be going ahead with the program, as planned, with "Rudolph" included.

Way to go School Board for telling the mother to take a hike. Honestly, some people should just be shot and not heard. Hey nutjob mother get a life.
