"Lilliput Church of England Infant School, in Dorset, informed parents and guardians of pupils aged four to seven that some members of the community were deeply uncomfortable with certain lyrics from the hit animated musical that opened in the summer. According to BBC News, parents were asked to encourage their children not to sing these songs at school out of respect for those who find the themes at odds with their faith."
"In a letter published on the school's website on Monday (17 November), acting head teacher Lloyd Allington said the school want to be mindful of the diversity of beliefs within our community. For some Christians, references to demons can feel deeply uncomfortable because they associate them with spiritual forces opposed to God and goodness. From their perspective, even fictional or playful use of this language can conflict with their faith, which emphasises rejecting evil rather than engaging with it, even in entertainment."
