Recently went to a holiday chorale at my ten year old granddaughter's public school in Maryland.
It was only 6 songs and took less than an hour.
One song was Israeli Jewish, one was about Kwanza, and one was a vaguely Indian - East Indian - sounding happy song.
Not one was a flat out Christian celebration of the birth of Christ or the feast of that birth, Christmas, unlike the songs I sang at school for Christmas when I was ten, fifty-six years ago.
Have these kids even heard "Silent Night"?
That's a pretty multi-culti, diversity-loving program for a totally white chorus at a totally white school.
Might have been totally Christian/post-Christian, too.
Could be the power of the state government at work.
MD is deep, deep blue.
Loved the show, by the way, and wished it was longer.
The kids were great.
