Children miss out on true Christmas meaning

Printer-friendly version

BBC Radio 4 presenter, Roger Bolton, has raised concerns about the approach of schools to Christmas. Writing in the Radio Times he said, "in some schools in this country, little is taught about the true meaning of Christmas, possibly because secular staff are unsympathetic to religious education or because of the fear of offending those of other faiths. And broadcasters aren't doing much to remedy this ignorance. It is difficult to find any children’s programmes that regularly deal with faith issues."
