[quote=Anonymous]OMG. I can't believe that not only some penny-ante Hill preschool parent is up in arms about this, but that they are ALSO taking their absurd grievance to MOTH and DCUM and g-d knows where else.  I think what gets met he most is the attack on the Peabody teachers that organized the concert. It takes a special kind of person to go on a public crusade against your child's teachers and school like this, as opposed to just taking it up privately if you're so bothered.

As long as the performance wasn't a full-on Nativity play, there's absolutely no legal or ethical reason why it can't include a historical religious song.  If you are so opposed to your child signing that, then yes, you can keep them out of the performance. But to excise all religious music and art from schools is obviously untenable.  As the mom in an interfaith family, I find that generally the schools around here do a good job of balancing the Christmas season by having some fun and keeping it mostly secular. [/quote]
