This is a christmas carol banned.

i'm bolding offensive parts.

"Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born


Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
"

now tell me this is a purely holiday song, with nothing to do with christianity or promoting jesus.

if ppl can rap about things like killing parents and underage sex, why cant ppl sing christmas carols like that?
sadolakced acid
you aren't allowed to rap about those things in school.

likewise, these bannings are not everywhere, just in school events.

well if its a christmas carol like that one, i probably wouldn't be offended, but i would be extremely uncomfortable, but other carols, without the reference to any religion would be okay, and shouldn't be banned.

you think it's dumb, but what if someone wanted to have a "allah is great" float? or a "heil hitler" float?

That would be perfectly fine with me.
Just because there's something to do with another religion, culture, etc. doesn't mean that you personally have to worship it or participate in it.
I just with people could go along with things.
If you don't like something, then don't participate.
But do you have to ruin things for everyone else?
Selfishness..
