Elementary School Bans Kids From Singing “Happy Birthday” so Children Aren’t Offended, Shockingly, People Have a Problem With This…
Another smackdown for the PC Police…
(Fox)- A ban on singing “Happy Birthday” lasted all of four days at Chesterfield Elementary School after angry parents bombarded the school with complaints.
“Singing is not permitted due to the sensitivity of all student beliefs,” wrote Principal Jodi Davidson in a letter to parents dated August 13.
On August 23 Davidson sent another letter reversing the policy noting that students “are permitted and encouraged to sing the happy birthday song in the classroom.”
…Kim Cranston, a spokesperson for the Rockwood School District, told FOX News Radio, the initial ban on the birthday song was meant to protect the students.
“One of the things that she (Davidson) had explained to me is they always want to be sensitive to all children,” Cranston said. “And there are some children in their school – as there are in many schools – who don’t participate in holiday or birthday celebrations.”
