Santa Claus was disinvited from making his traditional appearance Dec. 12 at the Winter Concert of the Andrew Peabody School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, because of the opposition of at least one parent, CBS News in Boston reported.
Jennifer Ford, the school's principal, informed parents a day before the concert that Santa had been nixed.
"I am writing to you today to inform you of a change in our concert series this winter. Our First through Fourth grade concert as well as our kindergarten concert will not include a visit from Santa Claus this year," CBS affiliate WBZ TV reported.

With the cancellations Santa has no excuse to bypass my house this year.
Principal could have told them " go screw yourself"
All the men folk should dress up as santa and attend the event.
Send a message loud and clear.
For years I have said the country is run and dictated to by extremists. One doesn't have to go far to support that claim.
You are correct, and it was proven this morning when the film that North Korea thought was offensive - NORTH KOREA! - has been cancelled.
Anyone remember back when we were a strong, independent country?
not lately 6:12
Any complaint from a minority of 1 is the rule of the land! The person with the complaint should have been 'disinvited', Santa is not part of any religion and if this person/persons are against fictional characters then keep themselves and their children away from schools, libraries, comics, cartoons, etc. This principal is a cowardly socialist!
