Joanne Jacobs posts an email she received regarding further politically correct inroads in the public schools. This time the target is a song celebrating a certain winter holiday:
A Fox reader named Michelle in a small town in Texas sent me this amazing e-mail. Stupidity, apparently, knows no limits.
If this is how they treat the chorus...I'm most curious what they are doing to the 'Figgy Pudding'.
My kindergarten daughter was informed that in the song "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," her class was to sing: "We Wish You a Merry Hissmas." This prompted her young mind to ask me what holiday Hissmas was, among other questions.
Michelle closes:
The mother told her daughter to tell the teacher that the family celebrates Christmas, not Hissmass. The teacher told the girl she could sing "Christmas," but to sing quietly.
Well, my family and I would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Hissmas and a Happy New Ear!!
Thank you, Michelle. Seasoned Eatings to you, as well.
