The message went on to ask that workers refrain from using “religious decorations” or “those solely associated with Christmas (such as red and green colors)” in public spaces within city buildings.

Weiss continued to suggest alternatives to traditional Christmas decorations, like snowflakes, “snow people,” and lights, using “colors like blue, green and purple instead.” […]

No kidding...
“We are inclusive to everybody EXCEPT YOU!!”

I sure like the USA a LOT better before all this “inclusive” crap started.

Want to wager that the City of Wauwatosa would be perfectly fine with hanging “inclusive” LGBTQRSTUV rainbow and “inclusive” green Palestinian Terrorist Flags?

“Ban” and “inclusive” do not belong in the same sentence.

It’s anti Christian bigotry to exclude people from celebrating the birth of their savior. This is what happens when atheists and pagans get power. They persecute Christians.
