"Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho" and "Steal Away" alongside exquisite discoveries that are less well known. The contents reflect the richness and diversity of the spiritual tradition, including many much-loved favourites like "All My Trials". As a secular nation our government should not be involved in making any declaration regarding religion.Bob Chilcott (Edited by) : Spirituals For ChoirsĪn exciting collection of 20 specially commissioned SATB arrangements almost all of which are a cappella. Why should the school allow Christian songs to be sung, when, most likely, people would be very upset if a song of praise to Allah (for example) were allowed or a song saying religion is a fantasy. Obviously, you do not understand what should be appropriate for students in a public school if you have no problem with the singing of ‘Silent Night.’ This song is clearly a song of praise to the Christian god. If my child were required to learn a song such as this, I can guarantee that I would be suing the school as those parents did. The song is specifically about the god of the bible – it says so in the lyrics. How can this not be considered a violation of separation of church and state? A public school, funded by taxpayers has no business pushing god on to any students. I did, in fact, sing that song and other religious songs in my public junior high school chorus, and saw no problem with it. I would not oppose the singing of “Silent Night” in a school program. I think it’s rightly removed from the program, but not on the grounds that it violates separation of church and state by virtue of being religious more on the grounds that it advocates ignoring church-state separation and thus violating the constitution. But if they didn’t wish to practice that song they would be excluded from the entire performance.

The school’s method of fixing this included not only nixing the song but also banning the objecting children from the entire concert: They are seeking to bar the school district from the “religious instruction” the song represents. The district’s superintendent pulled the song after receiving a complaint from a parent hours before the lawsuit was filed last week in federal court, a school district spokeswoman said.īut the parents’ lawyer said they are still entitled to damages because their children were required to learn the song.
Thankfully, a couple parents of third-graders at that school complained and stopped that from happening. That was part of the song lineup for a choir concert at an elementary school in the St.
