This is a christmas carol banned.
i'm bolding offensive parts. "Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ, the Saviour is born Christ, the Saviour is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth " now tell me this is a purely holiday song, with nothing to do with christianity or promoting jesus. |

you aren't allowed to rap about those things in school.
likewise, these bannings are not everywhere, just in school events. |

QUOTE you think it's dumb, but what if someone wanted to have a "allah is great" float? or a "heil hitler" float? That would be perfectly fine with me. Just because there's something to do with another religion, culture, etc. doesn't mean that you personally have to worship it or participate in it. I just with people could go along with things. If you don't like something, then don't participate. But do you have to ruin things for everyone else? Selfishness.. |
