Posted by Train Dude on Mon Dec 20 23:02:59 2004, in response to Media Taking Christmas out of Christmas, posted by R36 #9346 on Mon Dec 20 15:48:20 2004. "Happy Holiday" works fine. It works for Christmas. It works for Chanukah. It works for Easter. It even works for Groundhog day. That's about the only thing that makes sense. One school district in NJ took "Silent Night" out of a Christmas Pageant because one parent threatened to sue if it were included. The song was restored when that parent withdrew the threat. Yet, in other school districts,no Christmas Carols may be sung. When I grew up, we all sang carols. We didn't care about the religeous significance of the song or the holiday. None of us converted because of it. They were beautiful songs for a beautiful time of the year. I do not want my grandchildren to grow up in a world where they can't sing those songs in school or where wishing someone a merry christmas ( who may not be christian) is politically incorrect. My feeling is that if a school district wants to ban all but secular tunes from a holiday pageant, all parents who remember what a great holiday season was like should refuse to let their children participate in the school pageant. Let the principal sing to the haters and the misfits who put their petty views ahead of children being allowed to be children - for shame. |
