So the evidence is a reader's comment in the Daily Mail?

If you google search on 'School nativity plays banned', you really don't get much, besides one about a school in Rochford in 2010, where there was one being held, but the headmaster only wanted the junior school kids to take part, not the middle school kids, as he wanted them to focus on their school work.

You would have thought that if, as you stated, most schools had banned nativity plays, there would be more stories in the press.
