ST. LOUIS(KMOV.com) -- A choir made up entirely of people with developmental disabilities is struggling to learn new songs for the holidays, having being told it can no longer sing anything with a religious reference without facing a loss of its government funding.

The choir is from the "Let's Play to Grow" program, started 27 years ago as a way to help people with developmental disabilities get out of their houses and learn to socialize.

“It builds self esteem for people with developmental disabilities," said choir coordinator Claire Woodard..

Christmas is not entirely religious. Who is witholding funds because of religious reference to Christmas? Some people need to be offended all the time.

Why do people put up with this?  Get those kids out of there and let them perform in a church or private venue.....screw the funding.  Get it from somewhere else.

The smartest people in the world sure do need a lot of protection from outside influences.

Much like the Muslims who believe their men have such a lack of self-control that the force their women to cover themselves from head to toe in a potato sack or the men will start raping and murdering everything in sight.
