One of the LAMEST most STUPID things I've read in a LONG time
This has GOT to be one of the STUPIDEST thing I have read in a long time. I don't know who is more totally ridiculous. The parents who wrote in, or the idiot who made the decision. How much do you want to bet that they will allow "Christmas Parties" and songs at this very same school?
Letter Stops Va. School from Performing Song - WTOP Radio: "WOODBRIDGE, Va. - The marching band at Hylton High School in Woodbridge is going to have learn a different song.
The Washington Post says the band had added 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia,' by the Charlie Daniels Band to its play list for an upcoming guest appearance at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
One letter, however, from a parent whose children are home-schooled, was sent to a local newspaper complaining that the song about the devil shouldn't be played at school events because of separation of church and state.
The letter worked because the band's director has decided not to use it.
The decision is especially unpopular with Charlie Daniels himself, who tells the Post that he, 'doesn't write pro-devil songs,' and that it's, 'a shame,' the band director would yield to one piece of mail."
