A lot of ink has been spilled this year about the cancellation, diminution, or otherwise politically correct modifications of Christmas celebrations at Canadian schools.
Reactions among students have been mixed, and some particularly outrageous comments have been making their rounds through the social networks, some leading to (probably well deserved) suspensions.
What seems lost in all the talk among parents, teachers, principals, and school board directors is what the kids really want.
