The importance of the birth of Jesus in Christian tradition is being systematically diluted by politically correct head teachers in primary schools.

Youngsters at Whitehall Primary School in Chingford, Essex, have been told to sing edited versions of two modern Christian hymns when they attend a carol service and nativity play at a nearby church.

The words ‘Jesus the saviour’ in the carol Love Shone Down have been replaced with ‘Jesus the baby’, while the words ‘new King born today’ in the carol 'Come And Join The Celebration' have been replaced with ‘a baby born today’.

The primary school has also instructed pupils to say ‘Baby Boy Jesus’ instead of ‘Lord Jesus’ while singing 'Away In A Manger' so that pupils of all faiths can join in.

Parents have reacted with fury - one furious mother, a former Metropolitan Police officer, said the changes were utterly unacceptable and likened it to taking ‘Christ’ out of Christmas.

Whitehall head teacher Zakia Khatun defended her decision, insisting the school is inclusive of all children, but in doing so completely overlooked the fact that her actions effectively discriminate against Christians who regard Jesus not merely as a baby, but as Lord and Saviour, King of Kings.

We demand that this decision is reversed and that Christian traditions are upheld in our schools - after all, Christianity is something to be proud of, and is not to be swept aside in favour of political correctness, multiculturalism, diversity and 'inclusivity'.

YOUR COMPLAINT:

<p>FOR THE ATTENTION OF ZAKIA KHATUN, HEAD TEACHER, AND SAM NEAL, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, WHITEHALL PRIMARY SCHOOL.</p> <p>To whom it may concern,</p> <p>It has been reported that pupils at Whitehall Primary School have been instructed not to use the words 'Lord', 'Saviour' and 'King of Kings' and to instead use the word 'baby' when referring to the birth of Jesus in hymns, carols and school nativity plays.</p> <p>Although you have expressed a desire to be 'inclusive', you have overlooked the fact that your actions effectively amount to discrimination against Christian pupils, who regard Jesus to be more than just a baby - indeed, the whole point of celebrating the birth of Jesus is that he is Lord, Saviour and King of Kings.</p> <p>Members of any other faith group at your school who profess themselves to be 'offended' by the use of these words are highly unlikely to attend a nativity play anyway, or to partake in the singing of hymns and carols, because these are predicated on the birth of Jesus being celebrated for the importance that it assumes for Christians.</p> <p>Such discrimination against Christian pupils is unacceptable, and is in any case a pointless exercise in virtue-signalling in the name of 'inclusivity' for the reason given above.</p> <p>I demand that you you reverse this decision forthwith and respect and uphold the Christian traditions at your school, starting with the re-incorporation of the words 'Lord', 'Saviour' and 'King of Kings' in the relevant hymns, carols and nativity plays without worrying about the oversensitive feelings of members of other faith groups who may profess themselves to be 'offended'.</p> <p>I look forward to hearing from you at the earliest opportunity.</p><p id="sign_off" class="mceNonEditable">
