Political Correctness or Wrongness?

I realised how easily i can get worked up over little things. I was reading in the paper the other day about how political correctness is creeping into our children's schools. Schools are afraid to teach and present information on religious festivals, especially Christian ones, in fear of offending non-Christians.

For example, with school Christmas plays, which we all used to do, some schools have got rid of it altogether or removed the nativity scene from it. What the!? I mean come on, i think that's taking political correctness too far! Christmas aint about santa, its about jesus' birth! Why on earth arent we allowed to show it? I feel that while so-called protecting non-Christians, its become discrimatory of Christians. Afterall, Christmas is a mark of Jesus Christ's birth (hence the name CHRIST-mas) so why the heck not should we be allowed to show the nativity scene? Do non-Christians celebrate xmas holidays? I betcha they do. Therefore, if u use xmas as a holiday, then be prepared to know why you've got the bloody holiday for!!

I just cant stand it when these minority grps make big fusses about things like this, where when it is convenient for THEM, they are happy to go with it. But if they dont like a particular aspect of it, the whole world has to hear it and follow their lead. Sometimes political correctness is a load of hogwash, it's better if we are all honest with each other and TELL IT AS IT IS!
