I feel I should note that this thread is reminding me of the South Park episode where the school tries to put on a Christmas play, but then one of the parents complains that it is offensive to those who aren't Christian, and eventually every Christmas or religious element is stripped from the play so not to offend anyone, and the final product is nothing more than the students dressed in black dancing and singing to a minimalist song. The parents see how terrible the play is and then realize how dumb they have been for complaining.

It's strange how some of the best life lessons can be learned from South Park.
