Not a Moment Too Soon

Launching into the Christmas Season and it’s celebration comes not a moment too soon, as secularist humbugs are getting underway already:

For more than a week, Mary Anne Bender helped her 10-year-old daughter learn her Christmas pageant lines and daydream about what costume she’d sew for the after-school play at Windmill Point Elementary.

But on the second day of practice, fifth-grader Kayla Vance was told she can’t play Mrs. Claus in A Penguin Christmas because the principal has axed any mention of the word “Christmas” in holiday festivals…

Criticized last year by a parent who demanded strict separation of church and state issues, Principal Bernadette Floyd has decided instead to take a more generic approach to holidays, school district spokeswoman Janice Karst says.

“It was an unfortunate set of circumstances,” said Karst, noting the school’s music teacher was unaware of Floyd’s policy. “Any reference to a religious holiday has the potential to offend anyone who is not part of that particular persuasion…”

“I don’t understand why these secular things are being taken away from our young children,” Cowart said. “Last year Logan got in trouble for saying ‘Christmas’ in class. Is that a bad word now?”

Kayla, who had to audition for the role of Mrs. Claus, said she remembers vividly the day last week when her music teacher told her A Penguin Christmas had been canceled.

That’s right, the Penguin Christmas has been cancelled! It’s too offensive!
