Quote ...
Wilmington, N.C. — "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" caused a stir at a New Hanover County school. A parent complained about the song's religious reference and got it pulled from her child's kindergarten Christmas show at Murrayville Elementary School. [more]

OMG CHRISTmas is all about religion. And there is nothing religious about that song.

Good thing the song was put back into the schools program of Christmas songs. Otherwise, I'd fly down to NC myself and made sure the song was put back on

That's completely absurd. They should have just told her that she certainly wasn't required to attend.

Even as an atheist, I find it pathetic that some people get so worked up when anyone at all says the word "Christmas" within earshot. These people just need to get over themselves.

But in true "all are not equal" style, if someone carped on about the "religious" elements in some Jewish festival, there'd be accusations, and lawsuits and a load of other crap to deal with.

Yes...they concluded is was a secular song by "Listening closely" (They had to LISTEN CLOSELY??)

I bet the mother is angry
