War On Christmas: new York Grade School Cancels ‘Jingle Bells’

A New York primary school banned its children from singing Jingle Bells because these woke idiots claim that it is raaaacist.

The Rochester Beacon reported that Christmas classic was removed from the playlist at Council Rock Primary School.

Council Rock principal Matt Tappon added a notice to the school newspaper that the song was banned, explaining away why the administration made the absurd move.

As Todd Starnes added:

According to the school’s diversity page, there were songs that had been previously used that had a questionable past. One of the examples the school listed was “Jingle Bells.”

The school noted that other questionable songs were removed from the curriculum and “are no longer in our repertoire, and are replaced with more contemporary, and relevant content.”

The Beacon reports that the school’s decision was based on a 2017 article written by Boston University Professor Kyna Hamill. Hamill alleged she had found documents proving the song had first been performed publicly at a minstrel show in 1857.

When told of the primary school’s decision, the professor said she was stunned.

“I am actually quite shocked the school would remove the song from the repertoire. … I, in no way, recommended that it stopped being sung by children,” she told the newspaper. “My article tried to tell the story of the first performance of the song, I do not connect this to the popular Christmas tradition of singing the song now.”

Just another example of leftists destroying American culture.
