Ottawa school threatened after Christmas song cuts

An elementary school in Ottawa was flooded with hateful and threatening e-mails and phone calls after media reports that it had removed the word "Christmas" from a song to be performed at its Christmas concert.

It is totally unnessecarry and over the top of these people to call the scool anti-christian. It is simply accepting that there are other cultures that do not nessecarily celebrate christmas and to make the concert meaningful to them as well.

Quiet frankly, ANYONE who moves to ANY country and wishes or even expects them to change the wording in their songs/books etc. has got to be, mmmm, err O ya .... Canadian! Do you really think any other country in the entire world would allow this?

Open your eyes, you are in Canada. We celebrate Christmas here. If you don't like the word or its meaning you had better start packing.

Am I a church going, bible thumping Christian? Nope, went to Sunday School as a kid and try to live a so-called "God-fearing" life. But I am Joe Average if there is such a label and I like Christmas!
