IT’S COME TO THIS: Kentucky School District Censors A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Actually, considering where CBS was headed at the time, I’m kind of surprised it got on the air in the first place. As Lee Habeeb wrote in his 2011 article, which NRO republished this month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas:

As far back as 1965 — just a few years before Time magazine asked “Is God Dead?” — CBS executives thought a Bible reading might turn off a nation populated with Christians. And during a Christmas special, no less! Ah, the perils of living on an island in the northeast called Manhattan.

It took them half a century, but CBS finally managed to spread the “Progressive” word from Black Rock to Johnson County, Kentucky.
