Christmas carol words changed at Brisbane’s Kedron State School

A CHRISTMAS carol change is the latest example of creeping political correctness... and it has a federal MP seeing red.

SCOTLAND:    Singer Wishes You a Perfectly Tolerable Christmas   December 08

FEDERAL MP Peter Dutton has called on parents to “rise up” against the insidious forces of political correctness after learning a Brisbane state school’s end-of- year celebrations changed the words to a popular Christmas carol.

Mr Dutton responded after hearing a Sydney radio talkback caller report the words of We Wish You a Merry Christmas were changed to We Wish You a Happy Holiday at the end-of-year concert at Kedron State School.

“It’s gone too far.... People have had a gutful of it and I think we’re back to the same stage now and I think we need to rise up against it,” the Member for Dickson told 2GB.
