School cans singing of ‘Jingle Bells’ due to ‘potential to be controversial or offensive’

An upstate New York elementary school won’t be singing “Jingle Bells” this holiday season as it is potentially “controversial” and “offensive.”

This, according to Council Rock Primary School Principal Matt Tappon, the Rochester Beacon’sPeter Lovenheim reports.

And that’s all Tappon had to offer. But Brighton Central School District Assistant Superintendent Allison Rioux told Lovenheim that “some suggest that the use of collars on slaves with bells to send an alert that they were running away is connected to the origin of the song Jingle Bells.”

Rioux added the district is “not taking a stance” on this suggestion … but it cancelled “Jingle Bells” anyway.
