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.
If you don't believe in Christ then don't celebrate Christmas. I know Walmart and other retailers will have a fit but Christmas isn't about turning a profit. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of ?Christ. If the school had done to a Muslim what they did to Christians, then there wouldn't be a school anymore. There most likely would have been scores of dead besides the burned out school structure, not only in New York but all across the country.
Either celebrate Christmas as what it really is or don't celebrate it at all but just don't go changing things to appease non believers.
