I just got back to my classroom from our stunning Christmas Concert that definitely did not fail to please anyone...except for maybe the Jews in the audience...and the Muslims...and probably the atheists. I was shocked at how openly Jesus Christ was discussed in school. Being a Christian, I have no problem with it philosophically, but realistically, there are Jews and Muslims (the latter view Jesus as a prophet, but not the Savior of the world) in our school that probably were a bit turned off, if not offended, by the spectacle.
A few highlights from the show (remember that this is a public school and in front of 600 students):
"Let's put Christ back into Christmas this year. We need to celebrate Jesus Christ and honor His birthday."
"'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house; Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
Boy on stage: "Christmas is about love and giving, not necessarily material things, but of ourselves selflessly."
(Applause)
Teacher conducting: "That was great, I love the 12 days of Christmas. Now, our dance team is going to perform 'Teach Me How to Dougie.'"
(Wild Applause)
I stand firm in the fact that there is no better way to honor Jesus Christ in this Christmas season than to pump some Cali Swag District and be taught how to dougie. It's also worth mentioning that almost every teacher was blushing at the fact that the choregraphy of the dance included the girls nearly grinding the floor and showing their goods through their short skirts...at 12 years old.
Pictures and video to come.
