You would have thought that if, as you stated, most schools had banned nativity plays, there would be more stories in the press.
I have to stand corrected on my comment 'most schools' .. Ive just asked my 9 and 11 year old if they had them..and they said "yes".. so I was also going on a story I viewed on the BBC news channel a couple years or so back..Perhaps blowing it all out of proportion.. like the Prophets of doom they are. I do still believe though, rather than having a Nativity Play... our children would benefit far more from a Science Play
