[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s one thing to have the music teacher play the song in class and discuss why it’s important to some. It’s another to ask kids in a chorus to say these words. It’s completely inappropriate whether they are four, nine or 14 years old. And it doesn’t matter if other religions were represented. This is singing about the birth of Jesus. There’s no way around it. It’s religious in nature and doesn’t belong in a public school sung by a chorus of students. Schools should stick to fun cultural songs like Rudolph and Dreidel Dreidel. Or better yet, use some imagination and do a wonderful fall holiday concert. This isn’t hard. It’s lazy, uninspired teaching. [/quote] A fall concert is good. I'm offended by fun cultural songs. Like it or not Christmas is a religious holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus, the Christian Lord and savior. It has nothing to do with Santa or Rudolf and I don't want to hear those songs at a holiday concert.[/quote]
