Here's my scenario - (all hypothetical/nothing personal ok?)

you want the song removed/banned from the school list, what about those other children and parents who found nothing wrong with the song? they didn't find it offensive, they found it entertaining, why should your (again hypothetical) problems be burdened onto them?


What if the school decided to sing a song about the hatred of franshade (I'm not intending to offend you)? Someone (if only you and your children)is sure to be offended by that, but some will not be. Should we burden those who like singing the song because some do not?

what about little bunny foo foo??? down came the good fairy (not everyone believes in fairies while some believe in them through their religion) and all the bopping them on the head (animal cruelty??) should that be banned?

Little bunny foo-foo, (hold up two fingers)
hopping through the forest (bounce your hand up and down)
Scooping up the field mice, (make a scooping motion with hand)
and bopping them on the head. (slap top of fist with palm)

(Spoken)
Then down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny Foo-Foo, (wag forefinger - "no-no")
I don't wanna see you (wag forefinger - "no-no")
Scooping up the field mice, (scooping motion with hand)
and bopping them on the head. (slap top of fist with palm)
(spoken)
I'll give you 3 chances,
and if you don't behave,
I'll turn you into a Goon!

Little bunny foo-foo,
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice,
and bopping them on the head.

(Spoken)
Then down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny Foo-Foo,
I don't wanna see you
Scooping up the field mice,
and bopping them on the head.
(spoken)
I'll give you 2 chances,
and if you don't behave,
I'll turn you into a Goon!

Little bunny foo-foo,

Scooping up the field mice,
and bopping them on the head.

Then down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny Foo-Foo,
I don't wanna see you
Scooping up the field mice,
and bopping them on the head.
(spoken)
I'll give you 1 more chance,
and if you don't behave,
I'll turn you into a Goon!

Little bunny foo-foo,
hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice,
and bopping them on the head.

(Spoken)
Then down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
Little Bunny Foo-Foo,
I don't wanna see you
Scooping up the field mice,
and bopping them on the head.

POOF! You're a goon!

(Spoken)
And the moral of the story is:
Hare today, goon tomorrow!

actually the reason i brought up faeries in this thread is because i have heard people compare faeries and angels. some think they are similar if not the same

so if they substitute faeries for angels in that song...is that ok?

The chatter with the angels song reads like it is very annoying to hear, just had to say that.

I think they should leave god out of schools unless the school is a parochial school. It would be less problem for everyone involved.

Religious kids are still gonna hear lotsa god songs elsewhere and the non religious kids and parents won't have to go through it since obviously they don't wanna.

Yep when it has to do with keeping religion out of schools.

If they want to teach or cater to religion in schools they need to teach all religion to the kids, so there is no favortism to one religion. Do you realize how long that would take? All religious songs from all over the world, all religious text from all over the world, etc.... That is the only way to be fair to all religions.

I see nothing wrong with any of these songs - but then again I am teaching my niece the itsy bitsy spider and now will teach her bunny foo foo (thanks yr).

Children are extremely impressionable, I'm going to show her how to embrace and respect differences, but as is my choice :banana:
