Quick response--!
I hate Away in a Manger! I'm not talking about carols---which frequently have all the musical sophistication of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, but the body of truly great music-Bach Chorales, Oratorios, early masses, and I'm not really talking just about Christmas. I would be very surprised to hear the carols you mention being sung in many schools as I think most schools are very well aware of their legal vunerability in this area.
I won't argue the legality or the rightness or anything else; I merely mourn the loss of the experience for our children and as I wrote on DAR, wish we weren't throwing the bathwater out with the Baby.

<<Unfortunately, there are very few children being exposed to the world's best music, just as there are very few being taught the joys of poetry or wonderful art, either. This is a really a sad state of affairs, but unless the society becomes a lot more totalitarian we cannot force parents to be culturally sophisticated.>>

Huh? Good luck on trying to jam that square peg into a round hole.
