slacker Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Irregular News for 12.21.06 Long Island, NY -- A Santa hat-wearing school bus driver on Long Island, N.Y., has won the right to keep wearing his festive headgear, Newsday reported. Kenneth Mott, who keeps a long, white beard, almost lost his job after a parent called the bus management to complain. Mott, who has worn the red and white hat every Christmas since he started with the Bauman & Sons bus company five years ago, was ordered to stop wearing the hat because a child didn't believe in Santa Claus and was bothered by the hat. "I said, 'What, are you kidding me?'" Mott recalled. "I thought it was a big joke," Newsday reported. However, after Mott told other parents he might be fired for wearing the hat, supervisors changed their stance and said he could continue to wear the hat. source Quote Link to comment

NU fan in Denver Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 What ever happened to his right to believe in Christmas. I am getting sick of all the PC Christmas aka Happy Holidays BS. That's fine if you don't believe in it, but don't interfere with my right to express my beliefs. Quote Link to comment

I'm tired of people!!!!! Exactly. If you don't believe in God and don't want to say it in the pledge of allegiance then don't or leave the f&ck!ing room when it is said. Its the same damn thing with holiday displays. If you don't like it don't look at it. Instead a few people bitch and it ruins it for the other 99.5%. Quote Link to comment

huskered17 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I get pissed off when I here "Happy Holidays" in stead of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Every store clerk seems to have been told that's what they have to say. This political correction Bull#$%& has gone over board. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

Nicole Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 haha i personally dont see anything wrong with "happy holidays" no people b!7(h!n tho i do think its stupid for people to be "punished" for their beliefs. thats just stupid. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I agree with everyone. It's kinda ridiculous. The parent should just bite her tongue, help her child through it, or just step off, wait for the next bus, catch a cab, hitchhike, buy a car, etc. Quote Link to comment
