I wrote yesterday about the legalism of the left. It’s already begun to swallow everything up – Kevin Hart, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Baby It’s Cold Outside, VeggieTales, the miraculous birth of Jesus, Miss Universe, the Pilgrims, social media, and now apparently the Little Mermaid. Here’s the story from the College Fix that is sadly anything but shocking:
The progressive attack suggested that not only was the song problematic, but the fun attempt to promote audience participation by the Princeton group constituted an “offensive and violating ritual.” Seriously:
Progressive voices were particularly annoyed that in the performance, the choir would choose a male and female member of the audience to sing to and prompt to give each other a peck on the cheek. Why not two females, or two males, or two non-conforming gender-fluid, transsexual Nazi eskimos? That’s the “heteronormative” portion of their complaint. The President of Princeton’s Tigertones attempted this ultimately futile attempt at repentance:
And by “ensuring a more comfortable performance environment” he, of course, means that the group will no longer be singing the classic song from the Little Mermaid. Nothing can survive the left’s legalism. And as I wrote yesterday, this is precisely why. |
