But it seems like it was a mistake. Reporters and journalists should start reporting the entire story instead of one side of it. Sensationalism is pissing me off.

If it was just random singing I might understand where Wally World was coming from. However Wal-Mart oked this beforehand.

It was a misunderstanding.The store manager called the principal to schedule an appearance for the children to sing at the store.

This is one of those 'things' were I suspect there may be more to the story than is being told in a quarter-page news blurb.

Considering they would have been excoriated if they dared to condone God and blessing the nation, it appears this is their only recourse.

Walmart didn't one manager did and that's because of a miscommunication most likely meaning they're weren't made aware that the appearance was approved of, they were just following standard policy of what to do when people are causing a disturbance such as a large group of people singing.

It was one manager not the company and the report says they did so because of a miscommunication which probably means nobody told that manager about the event.

Unless he was a terrible singer. But the manager would do, the cops weren't necessary.

*Students. I think there is still no reason to call the cops on them. Under what law were they doing it anyway?

reply
Metaldane to Smack E... 2012/09/14 23:52:09

It's Walmart policy to call the police if a large amount of people are causing a disturbance (one case being singing) the report says there was a miscommunication which means they forgot to let the manager of that shift know about the event which commonly happens when you have over ten different types of managers.

Still, I wouldn't really consider singing a disturbance, only unless it was really bad.
