Not only is it 'PC', it's acually more in keeping with the original meanings of these days. In essence, they're going back to their roots.
Samhain, a precursor to Halloween, is about the end of harvest, the beginning of earth's 'sleep' in preparation for the new life to come, etc., to be simply explained and Christmas, etc., has Norse/Celtic pagan traditions that are centuries old that have nothing to do with Christianity. Whether the schools that choose to change the specifics of these days know this, I couldn't tell you, but I certainly prefer the true meanings of the holidays/celebrations than what's taken them over.
