If you plan on having a Christmas party at the University of Tennessee be sure to leave the Baby Jesus and Santa Claus at home.

The taxpayer-funded university’s Office for Diversity and Inclusion recently released an “unofficial” edict calling for the campus to host holiday parties that do not emphasize religion or culture.

“Ensure your holiday party is not a Christmas party in disguise,” the organization warned in an online document titled, “Best Practices for Inclusive Holiday Celebrations in the Workplace.”

UT has overstayed its welcome. Let the online Universities bring about its swift financial death.

Good advice here. After all - that’s what set Syed Farook off.

Someone wished him a “Merry Christmas” yesterday at the office Christmas Party, and well, you know the rest.

Screw ‘em, have a Christmas Party all you want and watch their heads explode, they deserve it.

to make it worse, call it your “Anti-Muslim Christmas Party”.

“holiday parties that do not emphasize religion”

Then what exactly is the ‘holiday’ they are celebrating?

I am inclined to subscribe to a theory presented by another Freeper. Storming out of the party was a ruse. This ruse would explain why Farook was not still at the party. The massacre at the party was intended to be a distraction for an even BIGGER attack somewhere else.

So, "inclusion" is catering strictly to atheists.

Do they not realize that the word “holiday’s” base is HOLY?

What abject idiots.

I am SO tempted to forward this to the bleeding hearts I work with who just signed the whole office up to do the annual Sub for Santa charity with a note about how Euro-centric, non-inclusive the term is. Just to watch them squirm with the cognitive disconnect.

Probably a winnable courtcase there. Atheism is recognized as a religion by court cases.

students should contact the liberty council I believe it is who has stated they will defend people who come under attack for celebrating Christmas and send a note to the school that hey are officially on notice that if they do Not rescind their UNCONSTITUTIONAL mandate that they will be sued!

Why have the parties? If it wasn’t for Christmas there would be no party.

and also tell the school “We celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and if that’s not ok with you folks then too bad- we still have religious freedoms in this country, and you are Not allowed to deny us those rights!

So if it’s not celebrating religion or culture, what exactly are they to celebrate? Time off?
