“they” do not want to offend anybody who might take offense to Christian references... but “they” have no problem offending Christians!!!
Removing references to Jesus from a song about Jesus birth makes perfect sense if you are a liberal I guess.
I’ll bet they changed Away In the Manger too:
“Away in the manger, no room for a bed
The little carbon life form lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little carbon life form asleep on the hay...”
Thank you for your post. I, too, am Jewish, and I am beyond furious at the deliberate denigration of the Christmas observance.
Why the Christian parents of these school students do not boycott the concerts over this bigoted insult I do not know.
I absolutely REFUSE to adopt the generic greeting of “Happy Holidays” when meeting my Christian friends. This is what it is.
My Christian friend annually wish me a Happy New Year when it is time for my Jewish New Year.
Those people who claim to be offended at the sight of a creche or a lighted cross, are first cousins of those who tore and burnt down the Stars of David during the “Night of the Broken Glass.”
How in the world does one remove the Christian Lyrics from Silent Night?
Like this???
1. Silent night, XXXX night,
all is calm, all is bright
Round Yon XXXXX
XXXXXX and child.
XXXX infant, so tender and mild,
sleep in XXXXXXXX peace,
sleep in XXXXXXXX peace.
2. Silent night, XXXX night,
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from XXXX afar,
XXXX hosts sing XXXXXXX!
XXXXX the XXXXX is born,
XXXXX the XXXXX is born!
3. Silent night, XXXX night,
Son of XXX , love’s pure light;
radiant beams from thy XXXX face
with the dawn of XXXXXXXX XXXXX,
XXXXX, XXXX, at thy birth,
XXXXX, XXXX, at thy birth.
4. Silent night, XXXX night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the XXXXXXX let us sing,
XXXXXXX to our XXXX;
XXXXX the XXXXXX is born,
XXXXX the XXXXX is born!
Anyone who is offended by those lyrics is too delicate for the real world. Those people have failed at life and need professional help.
This stuff started a long time ago. When I was in 5th or 6th grade at the top rated public elementary school in North Dallas in like 1983 and 1984 they cut out a few words and then dropped the songs if I remember correctly. And this was in a conservative area; I don’t think people were aware at the time and the school was a test ground for progressive ideas.
What's left after that? Humming and music?
Ditto! Have even sung them at some concerts.
It’s time for decent, traditional values Americans to stand up to the PC/diversity (so long as you AGREE WITH US)/tolerance (IF YOU DON’T TOLERATE OUR WARPED VALUES AND OUR EFFORTS TO TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN WE WILL DESTROY YOU) HYPOCRITES and tell them that the resistance has finally begun!
This expunging of Jesus by the Left, is going to come back to haunt them.
Look at the most evil players in history, and you’ll quite often find people who expunged Jesus (Christians) from their lives.
The churches always suffer under these tyrants, and their minions actions.
If you are going to take Holy Infant and Christ the Saviour out of Christmas songs, you should drop the whole holiday. Oh wait, stop using the word “holiday” as well.
