Well some people are fighting back.....



DEFIANT head teachers joined The Sun’s Save Our Christmas campaign last night — warning politically correct meanies: “Hands off Nativity plays.”

More than 195 primary school heads across the UK voted to keep traditional festive fun in a poll.

And 95 per cent of schools quizzed said they were determined to celebrate the birth of Christ with a Nativity play this year.

It came after we told how Nativity plays, religious cards, lights and even Santa have been axed in case they offend non-Christians.

One head teacher told market researchers Winmark: “There are instances of political correctness gone mad. Schools should teach the true meaning of religious festivals.” Another added: “It’s important to emphasis the Christ in Christmas.” Pollsters also quizzed primary school children on their understanding of Christmas — and 74 per cent knew it was about the birth of Jesus.

Researcher Peter Attwell said: “Children have a better understanding of Christmas than jobsworths who have tried to ban it.”

In another move to promote the Christmas spirit among youngsters, an animated film of the birth of Christ is to be distributed to Britain’s primary schools.

Charity boss Steve Legg, 35, from Littlehampton, West Sussex, raised more than £120,000 to create the Nativity story “It’s A Boy”.

He said: “I’m 100 per cent behind The Sun’s campaign. I was inspired to make the film by hearing of a child who asked why Jesus was named after a swear word.”

Support from Christmas-loving readers continued to flood in. Yaqub Masih, of the UK Asian Christians Fellowship, said: “I congratulate The Sun. Secular dictators are destroying our traditions.”
