You'd Better Watch Out

I can't very well call this Bears Riding Bicycles, because there is no proof that teachers and school administrators were involved. Although, I think a parent would complain to the school rather than call the bus company. So, I'll just call it what it is -- stupidity.

COMMACK, N.Y. AP) _ A school bus driver got into trouble because he refused to take off his Santa Claus cap while driving his route. Kenneth Mott, 65, who has a white beard and an ample belly, added an extra touch to his Santa Claus look _ a fuzzy red-and-white hat. Last Thursday, when he returned from driving children to school at the Commack School District, he said his supervisors at the Baumann and Sons bus company demanded that he take off his Santa hat. He was told that a parent complained to the district that their child doesn't believe in Santa Claus and was bothered by the hat.
A "child" is offended by a Santa hat? If this is true (and I very much doubt it is), what liberals are doing to their kids is nothing short of child abuse. They are creating yet another generation of victims, who are offended by anything that doesn't conform to their world view. I thought multi-culturalism was about respecting ALL cultures. I'll bet if this driver wore a Muslim head dress every Ramadan, no matter how many kids were offended, it wouldn't be an issue.
