How low can we go . . . ?

On the news, last night, the commentator said that a middle school class wanted to do some musical event or something. They wanted to sing "When the Saints Go Marching In" but the powers that be in the school objected to the use of the word 'saint'. They got to perform with one word change: saint was changed to ant. What? I don't know about other people but I would not want to sing a song about wishing I could join a bunch of 'ants' marching where ever it is they will be allowed to go in this song change. You have to wonder about the fear some people have at the mention of  God, Saints, Faith, . . .
