Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life is…
Beloved Christmas film “It’s a Wonderful Life” has secret racial and “bigoted” messages, according to a woke school professor who insists that the fictional city of Bedford Falls is too white.
James Deaville, who teaches music at Carleton University in Canada, chided the timeless film for its music, claiming it is full of “racism.”
“Listen and pay attention to the sounds of the movie and that’s where the racism lies, in the music,” the lefty lecturer whined to The Post.

The beloved film stars James Stewart as “George Bailey,” a man who plans to commit suicide on Christmas Eve.
His guardian angel, “Clarence Odbody,” performed by Henry Travers, intervenes by exhibiting George what Bedford Falls could be like if he hadn’t lived there.
The once-friendly hamlet is remodeled into a place called Pottersville, a slum of nightclubs, drunks and ne’er-do-wells.
But Deaville, an writer who lectures about music and sound in motion pictures, moaned that the melodies are all improper.

“The music in Pottersville is boogie woogie and jazz, a Black type of sound, but when the town is called Bedford Falls, the song George and his wife Mary sing to each other is ‘Buffalo Gals,’ a white traditional standard,” he said.
He also griped that Bedford Falls is populated by largely whites “apart from a Black housekeeper,” and slammed Frank Capra, the movie’s producer and director, as a racist.
Deaville’s woke phrases have sparked outrage among some of the movie’s admirers.
“When I learned that some unhinged leftist professor claimed this classic contains ‘secret racial and bigoted’ ideas … I was beyond furious,” wrote conservative commentator Matt Margolis.
The American Film Institute has honored the vacation movie as one of the 100 best US movies ever made.
