Do you really believe Christmas carols are designed to exclude non-Christians??
Talk about hyper-sensitive !!
Learn to be tolerant of others and take pleasure in them enjoying themselves!
I think that religion and religious exercises should not be used to exclude other citizens from a publicly funded program.

Again, how is anyone being "excluded"?
If you don't want to sing carols you don't have to. Just as you don't have to go to the college football games.
Then I will not be at the football game, will I? Or I will grin and bear it in order to enjoy the half time band show.
See above
1. People are NOT free to promote their own religion or lack thereof using public property, publicly funded events, etc.
So people are free to promote their political beliefs, their homosexuality, their sporting preferences - everything but their religious beliefs???
2. FREEDOM of religion is at the foundation of America's basic cultural roots.
