Jingle Bells Banned

Last year, a New York school district banned "Jingle Bells" from its list of approved Christmas songs.  District officials relied on a paper by Boston University Professor Kyna Hamill, who researched the origins of the song.  She found that it may have been first performed by white actors in blackface during a minstrel show in 1857.  No, that's a typo.  Not 1957, but 1857. 

There are no racist lyrics in the song.  It can't be banned for being religious because it isn't.  It's a joyful ode to the Christmas season.  It's been sung for 150 years by children of all races.  In fact, Professor Hamill loves the song. 

She said she was "actually quite shocked" that schools banned the song, adding, "I, in no way, recommended that it stopped being sung by children."  She insisted that Jingle Bells "should very much be sung and enjoyed."

It's easy to laugh at this, but it's symptomatic of something larger. 

The left is always demanding that we pass massive socialist legislation "for the sake of the children."  In reality, the left has declared war on our children. 

They want as many children aborted as possible. That's why leftists demand that taxpayers subsidize abortions. 

They want toddlers masked.

They want to close the schools, in spite of all the damage it's doing to our children.  And when the schools are open, they are teaching our children racism and anti-American history, and confusing them about what gender they are.

And the left evidently doesn't want them singing joyful songs like Jingle Bells. 

Keep the radical left away from your children!
