I want RECIPROCITY DAMN IT!!!

My son had a Christmas show, play, whatever on Friday. His class performed two songs. The first was a Hanukkah song performed in it's entirety. The kids danced to it and sang. I am not Jewish but it was nice. The second song was a politically correct version of Joy to the world. I was slightly upset. They didn't really sing as much as shout the lyrics they were given. Here are the lyrics to Joy to the World. I am bolting the words that were sung. I think you will see what I am talking about.

Joy to the World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world,
the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy
,Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

I would have preferred a Rudolf the Red Nosed Reigndeer to that.
