KINGS PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The song “Silent Night” is at the heart of a concert controversy on Long Island.

Officials at Ralph J. Osgood Intermediate School removed several religious references, including “holy infant” and “Christ the savior,” from the popular Christmas carol before a concert featuring fifth-graders last week, WCBS 880’s Mike Xirinachs reported.

The intent was to avoid offending non-Christians, but the change left others upset.
