Sadly, more attacks on all things Christian and Christmas.

This is tiresome.....what would happen if these same people in America began to call Charlie Wrangle on his insane tax schemes or Senator Clinton using her disgraced husband to further her power plays with lies or William Jefferson still not behind bars because he is a Democrat. There are so many issues that affect the nation....even though this happened in Britton, it is happening here in the US also. What should be private opinion about religion is made a national complaint....well it rarely if ever is. So get a life Politically Correct and leave the rest of the world alone.

But one group of young singers was ordered to change the traditional lyrics of the Christmas song - because they were said to be "too religious".

Uplift or "cross your heart" bras could readily be considered an unsolicited sexual advance ~ on the other hand, simply having large breasts cannot.

A case involving the USPS and an employee who filed a complaint about his supervisor not disciplining a female employee for "displaying large breasts" (albeit behind several bras, camisoles, shirts, and jackets), ended up being tossed by EEOC and I believe the MSPB as well!

Instead of "Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way", the youngsters were told to sing "carry Lucy" for fear of offending non-Christians.

Is it so hard for parents to simply tell their children to sing it the way they want anyway? I mean the Doors did that on Ed Sullivan ("Girl we couldn't get much higher...") after promising not to, why not kids at school? I would so instruct my kids, and if they suspended her, I would spend every penny I had to sue them and make as much as a fuss as possible until the cowards relented.

I’m still trying to figure out who could possibly be “offended” by the Christmas story.

Maybe it's not such a big deal.

Just borrowing from an old tradition.

Maria was just a latin nickname anyway.

Her given name was Miriam, just like Moshe's sister.

Of course, the mention of a Hebrew name would really have set off the PC crowd.

This is but one more example of why the UK is doomed. They are already behaving like the vanquished in an occupied country.

Is there a separation of Church and State in England? Canada? Et al?

Why does the War on Christmas get waged everywhere around the world?

We don’t all have the same Constitution.

Voting Democratic only provides political cover for the PC crowd

The voters need to wake up. Most Democrats I know HATE PC yet they miss the disconnect between their values and their votes.

This type of anti-Jesus, anti-Mary PC schlock always brings the following tune to my mind as a gesture of defiance:

Hail, holy Queen enthroned above, O Maria.
Hail, Queen of mercy and of love, O Maria.

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

Our life, our sweetness, here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve, O Maria!
To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

Turn then most gracious Advocate, O Maria!
Toward us thine eyes compassionate, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

The cause of joy to men below, O Maria!
The spring through which all graces flow, O Maria!

Angels, all your praises bring, Earth and heaven, with us sing,
All creation echoing:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!
