Are you fucking kidding me? we omit Christ from a song about Christ because we are afraid of upsetting some douchebag parents?
School Omits 'Christ' from 'Silent Night,' Upsetting Parents
School Omits 'Christ' from 'Silent Night,' Upsetting Parents
Christ has officially been removed from Christmas. At least that was the case at one middle school on Long Island, New York, where its holiday-concert chorus sang a version of "Silent Night" that had all references to "the savior" and "holy infant" removed by school administrators. But the effort to avoid alienating people seems to have backfired.
"It's offensive," one father of a student at the Ralph J. Osgood Intermediate School in Kings Park told CBS New York. "If you're going to remove words to not offend other religions, what about the religion that that song belongs to, which is Christianity?"
