But a parent apparently disagreed and contacted the Illinois Family Institute about the holiday programs presented by the McHenry County elementary school, Smith said.

And the reason the parent didn't discuss it with the school first???

And if the parent was in attendance, one presumes their child was performing so why didn't they know what songs were to be presented ahead of time? I always know what is going to be performed.

Sounds like over-reaction to me, especially with the comments from the school.

Why would a parent know what was going to be in the whole school's Christmas program? Sometimes one grade does one thing and another grade does another thing. Why would the parent of a first grader know or care about the songs that the fifth graders are performing? Until the night the whole production is put together?

I have no clue what songs are in the various musical productions that our children are doing in school. I have asked one of them, but she just smiles. I'm not at all concerned either. Last year's "holiday" program had all kinds of songs. You could tell which ones weren't traditional Christmas/Santa songs. Nobody knew them well.
