I believe that music educators should be able to pick their own music and that sacred music is a vital part of a quality music education. The Master Singers should have the right to sing Christmas music in the community and I hope this will aid them in being able to sing again.

I'm sure the board is concerned about being sued by someone. My former employer (school) would have nothing to do with any Holiday b/c a Jehovah Witness family threatened to sue. (I have a sister who is a JW, so I can write about this unbiasedly) I live in a very Jewish populated district. Our kids sing songs from all walks of faith and ethnic backgrounds because this is the time of year where much is celebrated. The kids learn about Bach in music class and how his faith inspired him. Our Jewish parents have no problem with that.
