Rum??? We like rum! We usually get to talk like pirates (some of us better than others) and wear cool hats when we drink rum! Will you stay with us on the island and be our rum-chum?

Are you tired of the cold weather yet?

America is a predominately Christian country and as in all other aspects in this country majority rules. I am sure there are many adults in this country who are not Christians who participated as children in Christmas pagents and shows growing up and still kept their beliefs. The songs mentioned the coming of Christ are also part of our Christmas traditions.

If we limit these programs to all songs that are not religious then are we not changing the traditions?

Do we next eliminate Valentines Day and St Patrick's Day? Do we take away all celebrations of holidays at schools because someone might not fit in? The school did not exclude these children. The parents made the choice not to have the children participate.

If I raised my children in a Muslim country, would it be fair of me to tell the school that they could not hold a traditional program because my beliefs were different?

If we continue to worry about being politically correct we are going to take the fun and joy of childhood out of our children's lives. Instead of teaching our children to be tolerant of all people's beliefs we are teaching them that if it is not what you believe then you should not accept it. Not a good idea but that's JMO

I thought Maine voted to not allow gay marriage?
