SHOULD CHRISTMAS BE ALLOWED TO CELEBRATE IN CAMBODIAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS?

Christmas or Christmas Day is a Christian holiday which is celebrated annually, usually on December 25 by both Christians and non-Christians around the world to remember the birth of Jesus Christ. It is the time for people to share joy, bliss and festivity. Christian religious views were first spread to Cambodia in the 1660s, imparting its values to Cambodian civilization. Nowadays, although the majority of Cambodians are Buddhists, most of them also celebrate Christmas. In recent years, however, there have been arguments about whether Christmas celebration should be allowed in Cambodian public schools. In my opinion, celebrating Christmas in Cambodian public schools because someone or some group finds it enjoyable should not be allowed because it can be carried out in other places; it creates chaos to and pollutes the environment of the schools; and Cambodian public schools are expected to promote Cambodian culture.
