Wisconsin Elementary School Changes "Silent Night" to "Cold in the Night" While Decorating For A Christmas Witch!

Redefining words, meanings, and symbols at will - this is one of the surest ways to reshape a culture. We now have, not only freedom OF religion, but we are witnessing a deadly trend toward freedom FROM religion - and that religion is, (dare I say it?) Christianity.

It seems that I daily shake my head in disbelief and shock as I read about some of the happenings in various parts of this country - a country which once possessed a strong Christian foundation and ethic.

We are in a war - a culture war - a war for life against those who promote death. And since unborn children are now viewed as legally disposable for whatever specious reason one can imagine, so also it everything good and wholesome. It follows that when the vices take hold of a people, their self-made slavery demands that all virtues and all that is good be aborted as well - never to be born in the hearts and minds of others, especially any children to happen to survive the murderous intents of the wicked and become actual 'persons'.

But I digress...Here is what was in my inbox recently. I am thankful that I am not a parent with children at one of these 'institutions':

In Dodgeville, Wisconsin, Ridgeway Elementary School's "winter program" has changed the name of "Silent Night" to "Cold in the Night." Sung to the tune of "Silent Night," the lyrics include: "Cold in the night, no one in sight, winter winds whirl and bite, how I wish I were happy and warm, safe with my family out of the storm."

The "winter program" included decorating classrooms with Santa Claus, Kwanza symbols, Menorahs, and Labafana--a Christmas witch!

Also in Wisconsin, the Glendale-River Hills School District has banned every Christmas song which has any Christian "motive or theme." But while banning Christian Christmas songs, the district permits secular holiday songs as well as songs celebrating Hanukkah. In defending this policy, Frances Smith, the district administrator, says that the Hanukkah songs are more cultural than spiritual.

What these schools are doing to our children is not educating, but indoctrinating! And they are using Christmas as an excuse. Following the lead of the National Educational Association, Wisconsin educational leaders preach tolerance and diversity while being highly intolerant! Most of the residents of Wisconsin are tolerant, but not their educational leaders.

Banning nativity scenes. Banning Christmas songs in school. Banning Christmas in advertising. Calling a Christmas tree a "holiday" tree. Calling a Christmas parade a holiday parade. Refusing to mention the Reason for the season. It is time to take a stand for our children, our families, our faith and our freedom!

Educational leaders in your state could be the next officials to join this anti-Christian bigotry parade.

I urge you to email Wisconsin Governor Gov. Jim Doyle and Wisconsin State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster and ask them to stop this intolerant anti-Christian bigotry.
