What they should have done is armed themselves and then dared management to take the tree down.
Shut up you old farts! Don’t you know that this is only for your own good!?
It’s getting closer and closer to “time for a fight.”
Start with “we won’t do it.”
End with, “Try that and make our day.”
Liberals are scum and must be treated as such.
Get a sweater that has a Christmas tree on it, then stand filibuster style where the Christmas tree would have been. Finally, tell management to ‘suck it’.
Sounds like a war on religion to me.

The guy who talked about withholding rent is on the right track. It’s a financial protest that will most easily get the management to reverse course. They probably did this because one or two atheists complained, but if they see that ten times as many religious residents threaten to not pay rent, or move out at the end of their lease, then they’ll cave.
” Residents in a Newhall senior apartment complex are protesting an order from management to remove their beloved Christmas tree from the community room because, they were told, it’s a religious symbol.”
Ok.
Which religion?

The local congressman, Buck McKeon, had a few words to say about this affair:
“This is an absolute outrage and another example of a sad, sad trend I see happening in America today.”
“In Congress, rules prohibit us from sending out any official form of communication to our constituents wishing them any sort of religious happy holiday greeting. We can’t say, Merry Christmas, we can’t say Happy Hanukkah, we can’t say anything that even alludes to a religious celebration or specific holiday greeting. We can’t even use the colors red and green.”
“On Monday night hundreds, of people gathered on the Capitol lawn as we lit the Capitol Christmas Tree, and tonight, millions will watch as the President lights our National Christmas Tree — a tradition of spirit and unity we have enjoyed for 90 years. Are these great American holiday traditions next to go?
I understand that freedom of religion is a founding principle of our democracy, and that part of that freedom is the freedom to not believe in or practice a religious faith. But an abolition of every marker of the holiday season, no matter the religious affiliation, is an affront to our most sacred traditions and darkens what is supposed to be a time of thankfulness, giving, togetherness, peace, love, hope and reflection.
These residents pay rent to a private entity and should have the freedom to practice the holiday traditions of their choice.”
Seniors at a Newhall apartment complex won the right to retain their Christmas tree - or at least a smaller version thereof - after protesting their management firm's decision to get rid of the traditional holiday decoration all together. Read more in tomorrow's Signal
