School Bans “Joy to the World”

But the band director allegedly excluded the songs based on a warning that groups similar to the American Civil Liberties Union would be monitoring holiday concerts in South Carolina schools for possible constitutional violations. “The Academy’s principal confirmed the receipt of the ACLU’s or similar group’s communication and suggested that in order for students to play traditional Christmas carols they would need to play songs from other religions as well,” Gray said. to read more click here: radio.foxnews.com
