Yes they did and Why you ask, because a couple of Parents took offence to a line by Tiny Tim.
So, instead of the school telling them to plug their ears for those simple words, they cancelled the entire play.
Yes this is Political Correctness and that's why I put it here.

So, instead of the school telling them to plug their ears for those simple words, they cancelled the entire play.
Yes this is Political Correctness and that's why I put it here.
Quote: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.And what were those words? Can't You Guess?
Parents told local reporters the play was canceled because two parents complained about a line in the Charles Dickens holiday classic.
Quote:The unnamed parents took offense at the words uttered by Tiny Tim, “God bless us, everyone," television station WHTM reported.Yup, those are the Offending Words, The Words That'll Bring Death and Destruction Upon You and Your Family If Uttered Out Loud!
Quote:“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.Bull Shit, You Don't Have A Back-Bone. Turn In Your man-Card and I'll Stamp Snow-Flake On It!
Like many in this deeply religious community, she was saddened by the cancelation.
“One little line shouldn’t ruin it for every kid,” Burkhart said. “Charles Dickens is a class author, not a religious author.”
Principal Tom Kramer addressed the controversy in a message posted on the elementary school’s website. You can read the entire message by clicking here.
“Our decision is rooted in the desire to be respectful of the many cultural and religious backgrounds represented by the students attending Centerville Elementary,” he wrote.
That’s a mighty big clue, folks. In order to be tolerant and diverse, public schools have to eradicate any mention of God.
