{OT} Darn! Here we go again!

'No, no, no' turns into 'ho, ho, ho'
COMMACK, N.Y. (UPI) -- A New York school district bus driver, with a profile
resembling the jolly elf, nearly was Grinched for the red-and-white Santa
hat he wore while on duty.

Ever since he began ferrying children to and from school five years ago,
Kenneth Mott, 65, said he has been donning his furry hat during December.
But after a recently completed morning route, Mott said his supervisors told
him he'd have forego the Santa gear, New York Newsday said.

A child's parent complained to the Commack, N.Y., school district, it
seemed, which complained to Baumann and Sons, which asked Mott to not wear
the hat.

Mott said he thought it was a joke and vowed to wear the cap during the
afternoon. He said he doesn't pretend to be Santa Claus while driving,
doesn't play Christmas carols and doesn't decorate his bus.

After he told parents that the next day may be his last because of the hat,
Mott said, his supervisors reversed themselves, telling him he could wear
the hat after all.

Even though the dispute is over, Mott said officials "sure took a lot of the
joy out of my Christmas."

The parents who complained were Republicans. They've held private fund
raising parties for about a dozen local Republican candidates over the past
10 years. Source: Commack is a small town. My company's sales manager lives
there. He knows people who know people.

What really fried my ass about 10 years ago was Hilary's little greeting
about this time of the year: "...and we want to remember all the people
celebrating Ramadan, Hanukah and Kwanzaa..."

Well, wasn't that PC of her, eliminateing 80% of the US in one fell swoop!
And this is the BEST the Democrats can come up with?

Depending on who the Reps tap for the nominee, I may not vote yet again in
2008!

We're going to see a lot more of this in the coming years.

In the future, huddle with groups of your own kind and you will be ok.

I'm not sure I agree with that. What you're talking about conjurs up
images of gated communities and segregated establishments. I think
America has come a long way in a short time and ultimately people will
learn how to live with each other if government stays out of it.

I don't agree with it either, but this is what it is coming to. We are
learning to unlearn, unfortunately.

Jeez. Grinches. The bus drivers in the district in which I teach usually
decorate their buses - whether for Halloween, Christmas, whatever... I have
no clue if they wear Santa hats, but I have a difficult time imagining
anyone complaining if they do/did. The only *possible* reason I can imagine
for the transportation supervisor nixing the hat would be if they impaired a
driver's vision in any way. (Say, long pointy bit flopped over & swung
around w/the pom-pom, eclipsing peripheral vision for an instant. But
that's kind of far-fetched.)
