School Prohibits ‘Joy to the World’ Performance, Then Reconsiders
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—A 13-year-old student had her piano song choice rejected by a charter school on the grounds that the song was too religious. Once confronted, however, the school reversed its decision.
The song that the student wanted to perform was the popular Christmas carol “Joy to the World.” It was to be played as an instrumental piece for elderly people at a retirement home.
