Why Do Florida Republicans Hate Baby Jesus?

Guess what Florida teachers are not allowed to show their classrooms this year? That's right, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

Duh, it's even got Bible quotes! Why are these so-called "Christians" destroying the true meaning of Christmas? Is there anyone raised in a fear-based religion who doesn't tear up when Linus explains the true meaning of Christmas? The only conclusion I can draw is this: Republicans hate Baby Jesus. What is this country coming to? This is SO SAD.

"A Charlie Brown Christmas." Extra math problems. An art project about the conservation of energy. These are all items Brevard Public Schools teachers asked to use in their classes to enhance teaching or simply to provide a fun activity for students.

Principals denied all the requests.

In the past, if a teacher saw an opportunity to step outside the textbook and use a video, poem, art project or even additional word problems in a math class to help students better understand a concept, they could freely do so. But now, because of House Bill 1069 — which places the responsibility of overseeing instructional material on principals — they must get permission before using any "supplemental material."

Various reasons were given for recent rejections. Math problems were denied without explanation; the art project, in favor of activities already within the curriculum.
