I feel bad for the next generation. Things are so out of whack these days. How is the original silent night offending anyone??? When my kids choir sings hanukkah songs, does it offend me??? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Why cant we all respect each others beliefs? I am really getting disgusted with all this "politically correct" garbage.

Do they even recite the pledge of allegiance in schools anymore or do they do it with the "pc" version?
"One nation under (insert pc line here) indivisible with liberty and political correctness for all"

Oh yeah, everything has to be "inclusive" and then the little snowflakes grow up running for "counseling" because someone didnt invite them, or GOD forbid unfriended them on facebook.

You realize that until the mid 50's under god was not part of the pledge right? It was inserted to show we were better than "godless communists"

Not to mention the fact that not everyone is Christian and yes we should be as inclusive as possible.
I hope you are anti Halloween, too.
