School removes Linus’ Bible verse … audience recites it anyway

Christmas 28

By Lynn R. Mitchell

A heart-warming story of a politically-correct public school system that was rebuked:

A Kentucky public school decided to censor their “Charlie Brown Christmas” play after one parent complained that Linus’ monologue reciting Luke 2 was too religious and would be offensive. The students were instructed to remain silent during this part of the play. But on the night of the performance, as the student playing Linus stood on the stage quietly during his would-be monologue, the audience slowly began reciting the scripture verse together until the whole room was filled with applause and cheering as they finished with the words, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!”

It is the reason for the season.
