Which raises the question: Whose rights get enforced at the expense of who else’s? And who decides this? But to be honest, having a holiday show is not a right. Receiving an education is. On the other hand, Dickens’ Christmas Carol is hardly religious. Furthermore, most schools are pretty lax – I’ve gone to a lot of school concerts in the past few years, and I assure you, I’ve heard plenty of religious-themed songs sung by the school choir. I just get sick and tired of all these “They’re taking away our rights” whiners. Look back at our history, and you’ll see how few rights most people had.
