Where has Christmas gone

The Child Centre where my daughter-in-law works will not be celebrating Christmas with the children as there are families who attend who dont believe in it. Last time I checked this was Australia and I grew up going to school and making Christmas gifts and easter bonnets as a way of life.
To me this is a tradition of the Australian way of life which we now have to change for a minority. It's not like we would go to their country of origin and demand that they celebrate our way of life.

"When in Rome do as the Romans do", is that not the expression?
I am cross about other "cultures" hijacking Christmas.
Australia was founded on a Christian society and beliefs an when others decide to come here, they know that, SO... stands to reason that the consensus of the land stands for its ideals and cultures.
If people do not want to participate in OUR CULTURE then they can stay inside, out of school, away from kinder and childcare.
It is actually up to the Principal, Co-ordinator, etc. they can stand firm about their beliefs and majority in that particular school, kinder, etc might be the best way to go.
Vilification of rights, we are Australian living in Australia!
I am not racist but as an Australian I have to start saying other cultures are!
LIVE and let live, goes both ways.
