O'Reilly Wrong Again: School Never Rewrote "Silent Night" Lyrics!
During an interview with Jim Pinkerton on December 9th, Bill O'Reilly accused the Dodgeville Wisconsin School District of deliberately altering the words to "Silent Night" in an attempt to be politically correct. He fumed that this was yet another assault by the secular forces on the Christian tradition of Christmas. However, it seems that O'Reilly got the story about Dodgeville completely wrong and owes that town an apology and a retraction. Here's what the Dodgeville School District has to say on their web page (News & Information) yesterday.
PRESS RELEASE
Tuesday, December 20, 2005
Today, as part of its winter program, the Ridgeway Elementary School presented an adaptation of “The Little Tree’s Christmas Gift,” a production copyrighted in 1988 by Amalgamated Talents, International, Van Nuys, CA. The production was written by Ann E. Lambert, arranged by Dwight Elrich, and illustrated by Stan Sakai. The production tells the story of a family going out to buy a Christmas tree and finding only one small scraggly tree left on the tree lot. To the delight of their families, our students have performed this program several times over the past 18 years, and today was no exception. The District opted to present the narrative version of this play, permissible under copyright, rather than using a collection of familiar Christmas carol melodies to tell the story. Although some attendees lamented the “change of the words to satisfy Liberty Counsel,” it should be noted, again, that no words were changed. The play was presented as published.
As originally planned, the remainder of the program included the singing of traditional Christmas carols. Since district policy allows the inclusion of both religious and secular music in our curriculum and performances, that plan was executed today. ....
