UPDATE:

School district superintendent Zoe Watson decided Sunday to reinstate the singing.  Kudos to all of you who wrote, called and emailed. The decision was made after “communication she received was clear people want the national anthem reinstated”.

Cornwall Mail Delivery No Longer Blessed

23/01/09 1 COMMENTS

Two mail carriers at the Cornwall post office were recently disciplined for uttering the incredibly offensive phrase “thank the Lord for this beautiful day”.

After 25 years, a tradition at the Cornwall post office, where carriers starting on their routes in the morning would “thank the Lord for this beautiful day”, has been banned after one of the carriers filed an internal human rights complaint.

Mr. Murphy Jr, one of the offending carriers, said:

If any of the carriers thank the lord again, they’ll face suspension.

The Christmas tree and Christmas party have been cancelled as well.

The complaining carrier cannot be named to respect his rights.
