I'm an ex-Pagan. So I don't know what King it is anymore.

But.. the Dreidel song can't really be compared to "O Holy Night" - Dreidel is a children's game. There is a religious basis behind it, but Dreidel is, basically, gambling.
I equate "Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel" with "Frosty the Snowman" - it's a children's song, but not religious.

And I'm sorry.. the 51% of people who voted for Bush are not necessarily the same amount of people who need for their children to sing about Jesus in school. That's a vocal minority. Not all christians are like that.
Again, from experience, when Williamsville banned religious songs in their holiday celebrations, if it had been JUST Non-Christians, it probably would have fallen very short. But there were christians who agreed with us, that school was not the place for "Hark The Hairbrained Angels Sing"
