After receiving a complaint, the Holtville High School band won't be allowed to perform "Amazing Grace" during the upcoming football season.
"When the question was raised about the band playing Amazing Grace, a song we all grew up singing, my first reaction was this is a message that should be celebrated. But, after consulting with legal counsel, I was reminded that, as a public school, we simply cannot endorse a religious message in our activities. I completely understand the frustration of some of our parents, but we have an obligation to follow the law, even when we don't want to."
I'm so tired of stupid people being in charge. We can teach kids about evolution, celebrate Kwanzaa, and tell them Islam is a religion of peace but Christianity is wrong?!
