Sounds more like someone didn't want to do the parade and was looking for any excuse not to.

    The one thing here Curtis is that very last bit - you added: "and
    we see no harm in it" bringing it back to a few opinions against
    a few others.
    Better to just stick to: "but the majority of citizens enjoy the
    parade."

    want people to be chewing me out all the time, but an instance
    like this?  Parade organizers shouldn't have canceled the parade
    to please one parent.  That one parent can make their opinion
    known, and sure, that's fine, but that doesn't mean their opinion
    is final say.
