VIDEO: UVA students sign petition to ban Christmas
Campus Reform ^ | December 18, 2016 | Amber Athey and Cabot Phillips

Posted on 12/19/2016 9:20:25 AM PST by C19fan

In this season’s most anticipated holiday spin-off, Campus Reform visits the University of Virginia dressed as “The Hipsters Who Stole Christmas.”

With schools across the country outright banning even such innocuous Christmas decorations as evergreen trees and images of Santa because they could be interpreted as being “non-inclusive,” Campus Reform wanted to find out what students think of the idea.

When I was a lecturer at Penn State Univ the president Graham Spanier ordered that no Christmas trees and like be on campus. He in under indictment for covering up Sandusky's child sex abuse.

Give them what they want — and force them to take an extra final in all of their classes.

They’ll be the first ones whining someone didn’t had “season’s greetings” and a smile for them.

A school that should be avoided by anyone who is intelligent.

Virginia was named after Queen Elizabeth I, in 1584. The virgin queen. Wonder how these morons ‘feel’ about that?

The Virgin Mary was probably the inspiration too - England being a Christian nation.

All these silly complainers seem to have no idea how they are so blessed because of our history. They should not be allowed inside a college or university without passing a very rigid history exam.

The loony left are really that upset about Christians feeding, heltering the homeless, and handing out toys to underprivileged kids, eh? I guess they need to take their adopted kids to Muslims for Marxists then...oh yeah, Muslims don’t help those in need...too busy establishing sharia law and dishing out punishment to women who don’t wear their hijabs...

Undermine a country by ridiculing, or better yet, eliminating the traditions and mores of the host culture.

Like every other college in the US, they have to sweep out the administrators who have installed political correctness, and especially quotas. Stop admitting people because of demographic boxes checked and just look to grades, SATs and other indicators of actual academic ability. UVA, by the way, is considered a “public Ivy,” as in it is one of the best public colleges in the USA. Some students are trying to eradicate that distinction.

One of my liberal friends was dismissing “The War on Christmas”. I reminded him that I work for a university where Christmas is banned. We can only have holiday. He was astounded. His echo chambers had told him that the War on Christmas wasn’t real.

It is insane and they want to drag us down with them. If they want to play “scrooge” then they can skip Christmas and not celebrate it.

But truth be told, they want to ban Christmas all together and including not allowing Christians to celebrate it. They would be happy if this happened.

This country would be a lot worse off without Christmas and Christians and a belief in God. It gives people hope in times when there is little hope. This little nugget makes the difference when times are tough. Otherwise, why not just give up and go off and die somewhere.

Or Presents. If anyone tries to give them a Christmas or “Holiday” gift they need to refuse and claim they are offended!

If you think these students take finals - LOL

You have no idea what college is like. Professors want to go home early. Students DEMAND to go home early. Profs assign a paper to write instead of giving a final. Students download paper from internet, party a few days, and fly home. Many are taking zero finals.
