I could see where jewish or muslim kids could have a problem singing "christian" carols. Why not have inclusive holiday programs like the one school mentioned did? Seems like a logical solution to me.

why not have them NOT PARTICIPATE?!?!?!

it is fargin CHRISTmas.....

let them do hanukkah or whatever.

if they want a "holiday celebration" tough cht. blacks got kwanza, jewish have hanukkah, whatever, but let them celebrate SEPERATLY like that WANT with their different holiday.

they dont want CHRISTmas dont let themhave it.

I recall,

When I was in Elementary School, (Mid Eighties) we would sing all types of Songs, From Spin the Driedel, to Silent Night.

Of course back then, There was no such thing as Kwanzza, Well there was, but Truthfully I dont recall hearing about Kwanzza till the Mid Nineties.

It's better (to me at least) to have an "all inclusive" holliday celebration that it is to bann the whole thing all together.

For those that are offended by the hollidays DONT GO!

Guns, unfortunately there is a segment of the population that wants "Christian" celebrations only. Anything else is just a bunch of "hooey".

There is nothing wrong with kids celebrating Christmas at school in a christian country, even in a multi cultural society.

And if it offends a few immigrants then they can bugger off back to the third world hovels they came from.

The children and their parents should practise and celebrate their religion in private or at religious institutions (like church), and leave the schools for education alone.

What a totally handsomehunk post, obviously you have never gone to any educational INstitute other than grade school. If you had gone to one and had "Mid Terms" and "Finals" you would have expierenced the power of prayers.

Hence your post definatly displays your uneducational norrow mindlessness.

In a way, this is good. The sillier the public schools (and their defenders) get.... the sooner we will have people demanding a voucher system and the sooner we will have education actually teaching our kids something.
