The war on Christmas is already waging in one Wisconsin city after a school district issued a near-total ban on religious music this coming Christmas season.

The Wassau, Wis., school district informed its music teachers that from now on, singing about Santa is acceptable, but singing about Jesus is prohibited.

Beginning this December they must either perform five secular songs for every one religious song, have a concert with no holiday music at all, or cancel the concert altogether.

"The goal is to make sure that students do not feel coerced into performing songs that make them very uncomfortable," Kathleen Williams, Wausau School District superintendent, said. She said public schools shouldn't endorse any one religion.Read the full story here.

Do we have to be geniuses to figure out what happened here? I bet some parent of a non-Christian, or should I say anti-Christian, religious group threatened to sue the school district if they continue to highlight the Christmas theme. It shouldn't be hard to find out who.
