We’re coming up on Christmas and damn if the PC crowd doesn’t go out of its way to act like the South Park town folk on the Mister Hanky episode. Michelle Malkin links to this at Star News Online.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was almost grounded at Murrayville Elementary School this week after a parent complained about the classic Christmas song’s inclusion in her daughter’s upcoming kindergarten concert.

The objecting parent was upset about the words “Christmas” and “Santa” in the song, feeling that they carried religious overtones.

That prompted the song to be pulled from the upcoming holiday concert, which in turn upset more parents.

But Rudolph will be shining bright next Tuesday after New Hanover County school administrators and lawyers determined the song was just, well, a secular song about a make-believe reindeer.

Cooler head prevailing — but you know there will be lots of these stories in the next 10 days.

The following is funny, even though it’s all too real.
