The fifth graders at Centerville Elementary School in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania have been performing “A Christmas Carol” for decades. But this year that tradition came to an abrupt end.
Parents told local reporters the play was canceled because two parents complained about a line in the Charles Dickens holiday classic.

The unnamed parents took offense at the words uttered by Tiny Tim, “God bless us, everyone, television station WHTM reported.
“I was very surprised because it’s going on for decades and it’s a tradition at the school that everyone looks forward to,” resident Jane Burkhart told the television station.
Like many in this deeply religious community, she was saddened by the cancelation.

I am not a man of faith. But even as an agnostic, I still enjoy Christmas and Nativity scenes, and “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Carol” and all of the wonderful Christmas music created by the greatest composers in history to celebrate this holiday. Freedom OF Religion does not mean Freedom FROM Religion. I hope a Trump presidency puts an end to all of this Christian-phobic hysteria once and for all.
And why were the parents names not mentioned, this is what is wrong with our society…No balls to stand up and be counted for what you believe and attach your name to it. Turn the BUREAUCRATIC HOUNDS LOOSE ON THE NEIGHBORS TO TEACH THEM A LESSON. I hope someone finds out who you are and exacts the same type of silent revenge with Rit-dye in your swimming pool.
I consider myself Agnostic too, and am SICK TO DEATH of all these schools, public buildings and such banning anything with ‘god bless’ in.. ALL cause some whiny atheist has a cow…
Thank you for your open mindedness. We need more people like you. I just wish you shared my faith.
[This is just too much to take. I truly believe being sworn in with the Koran is not a good thing. ]
More than likely to Protect them against the inevitable backlash..
Another school doing away with the word GOD and Christianity. They most likely would not have a problem with Mohammad in their school. Parents need to start taking back their schools from our educators.
OK here’s the thing. For years the Christ-haters have all complained that Christianity isn’t “inclusive” enough. That Jesus dying for the sins of the entire human race isn’t good enough for them (then what is?)
Tiny Tim’s famous line is about the single most inclusive statement ever uttered. “God bless us, every one.” Who does that leave out in the cold? Exactly nobody.
Inclusion isn’t the problem and it never was. They simply hate God.
Exactly, its not freedom from religion they are wanting, its freedom from chrstianity..
They’re going to have to do away with almost all literature, art, and music of the Western world if they insist on banning anything relating to Christianity. But considering the way school curricula have been gutted, they’ve already gotten a start on that. Next they’ll have to shut down the museums, cancel all classical vocal music concerts, and destroy all works of fiction, poetry, and drama written before the ban on Christian references went into effect.
Come to think of it, they’ll have to wipe out all works of ancient Greece and Rome as well, because most of them refer to Greco-Roman gods. But maybe pagan gods are okay. And I guarantee they won’t ban any references to Allah.
The way these schools are crumbling down in values, i wouldn’t be surprised if they install Korans upon a Pedestal that everyone has to bow to…
BURN THE BOOKS!
Insane Libtards.
Just tell the unnamed parents to go stuff their Christmas goose. I bet they give Christmas presents! Anonymous complaints should be ignored like they are in most things, if they are afraid to give names they must expect to be ridiculed, which they certainly deserve from other parents.
OR, if it is on a weekday, they get a HOLY- DAY. If they work for the Federal Government, they will get paid for it- By Federal law!!!!!!!!!!
Two people should not be allowed to censor this program & stop a tradition that everyone else has enjoyed for decades.
Hell, there’s been reports (on this site and others) of stuff getting censored/pulled cause ONE person only complained…
ituser in a liberal run society under barry sotero obama the minority rules.
just look at what i mean.
gays,transgender,blacks,muslims,atheist,illegals.
And the smaller that minority, the more protections and power they are given it seems.
Try being one or two Christian parents who complain that something offends them in the school curriculum. How far do you think YOU would get? That magic number of a single complainant whose every selfish whim is heeded by schools works only for atheists, Jews and Muslims.
Because the complainants are allowed to be anonymous, for all we know, this is something cooked up by the school authorities themselves. If not, they’re the usual spineless bunch who have lost all sense of proportion when it comes to Christianity, one of the foundational pillars of western society. It appears that only the Christian God must be boarded up in the closet while every sexual disorder known to man has escaped it and demands it be celebrated loudly and proudly. This way lies moral and societal ruin.
That’s cause to liberals and the like, Conservatives, Whites, Males and Christians will NEVER be ‘seen as a minority, even if they ARE The minority in a certain area..
The problem is simple, just fire the liberal idiot who cancelled the play.
Political correctness is for the weak and spineless who so easily fall prey to socialist Marxist propaganda.
