Blast your car stereo with the song as you drive.

Actually, I understand this. 'White Christmas' is a very over-played song, along with about a half-dozen others that drive me up the wall.

But I just turn the radio off, and put on Mannheim Steamroller.

I think you and Fox News need a top-off of your humor tank.

They better stay in school if they are too dumb to know that "white" means snow.

This is sort of a joke by the author. He baited the students and they were more than happy to jump on board.

But really, how do you get from the video -- which was clearly a prank -- to the thread title saying it is "Under attack" ? It is almost like you didn't get the joke.

I saw that earlier this week. I think it was one of those "man on the street" type of interviews.

Don't think it was serious on the interviewer's part, but he did get people to believe it was serious and sign the petition.

So there is not a real attack on the song.

I got a good laugh over how it's "racist".

Well someone could sing about a "yellow" Christmas with the snow

But I can't see anyone singing "I'm dreaming of a Black Christmas"......
