Council Rock Primary School in Brighton, New York, removed 'Jingle Bells' from its repertoire of Christmas songs after linking the popular tune's origins to minstrel shows in the 19th century, according to a local report.
, Hamill researched the origins of"Jingle Bells," its composer, James L. Pierpont, and other songs about sleighs that appeared during the mid-1800s. She wrote that the first performance of"Jingle Bells" in public may have been in Boston in 1857 during a minstrel show, where White performers wore blackface.
"This wasn’t ‘liberalism gone amok’ or ‘cancel culture at its finest’ as some have suggested," McGowan wrote."Nobody has said you shouldn’t sing ‘Jingle Bells’ or ever in any way suggested that to your children."McGowan said that while the school was not teaching or discussing the origins of the song with students, it did feel it mattered when deciding what material should be used in school.
