What ticks me off is how the PC crowd is so caught up in how they don't believe that we should have any symbols of Christianity around us, so that we don't offend others who are not Christian. That would be fine if it was not such a double standard.
For instance, in junior high, I remember singing Hunukkah songs for our "Winter Concert". I remember singing "Yule Time" songs (Yule time is derived from a pagan holiday worship) and even singing "Kwanzaa" songs. But Christmas songs? No way, they might offend people. Problem is, who exactly would they offend? the town was 99% Christian. There were a few Jews, and almost no blacks, and those who were certainly did not celebrate Kwanzaa.
It is my understanding that the PC crowd is not after getting rid of all religious symbols so not to offend people. They are after getting rid of Christianity and all that it stands for.
