This is the problem ,media reporting on the subject of anything religious is always tied in with agendas .The mail (and other papers)have for some years now had a "anti foreigner" agenda ,and any decision by schools or local authorities to break with tradition results in headlines such as "nativity plays banned" or "banned from flying the union jack" and it's all because of the "foreigners" when in reality there is usually a perfectly reasonable explanation
