You are making the assumption the reason for the non traditional Christmas play was to avoid problems with those who do not believe in celebrating Christmas. Is there actually any evidence to support this assumption? If there is you have a point that I agree with, but evidence is needed first.
My wife and youngest son went to a play the other night, it was by a group called Strangeface and they put on a traditional Christmas play with a twist (they wore masks and performed with puppets), Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. The play was sold out and there wasn’t enough seats for everyone! They really enjoyed the play, so if you see it advertised near you go see it :-)
Christmas is alive and well in the UK, it doesn’t have to be a Christmas play in every single school or whatever through the Christmas period. When I was a teenager the school I went to (99% white kids) didn’t put on a Christmas school play.
Maybe the school in question discovered their pupils aren’t interested in performing in or watching a traditional Christmas play, so trying something more to their students liking.
Our local council paid for a Christmas party for a primary school (think it was over over £1,000!) and not enough kids/parents turned up to make it worthwhile, they cancelled it this year (rightly so as well, waste of money). The cancellation had nothing to do with opposition to celebrating Christmas, but it could be spun that way.
I really hate it when people make assumptions just to fit their agenda. If you can supply evidence for what you believe I’m open to complaining at dropping a Christmas play because not everyone celebrates Christmas.
I despise political correctness for the sake of it.
