Consider neutral-themed parties such as a ‘winter celebration,’” the handout read. “Decorations, music, and food should be general and not specific to any one religion.”

It was part of a Dean’s Dialogues “Religious Diversity and Holidays” event within the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences earlier this month, and was first reported on by the Intellectual Takeout.

“Our religious/spiritual beliefs and practices can play a key role in our identity but can be ‘off limits’ for discussion especially in public spaces,” part of the event’s description read.

The controversial handout listed about a dozen items “not appropriate for gatherings and displays at this time of year since they typically represent specific religious iconography.”

Those items include bows, angels, Christmas trees, dreidels, Nativity scenes, wrapped gifts, menorahs, bells, doves, Santa Claus, and the Star of Bethlehem. It also listed avoiding the colors red and green for their connection to “Christian tradition” and blue and white for their connection to “Jewish Hanukkah.” ...

I’m sure this also goes for Ramadan, Eid, Diwali, Hannukah... or just Easter?

We were in Minneapolis this past weekend for a wedding. The entire city is almost entirely devoid of any Christmas decorations. It was really weird. Even weirder was the huge number of hijabs and some entire burkas. I haven’t been to Minneapolis in 20 years. It felt more like Amsterdam than the Minneapolis I knew.

The golden rule of inclusion means something key to western civilization will be excluded.

Hopefully, every non-snowflake on campus will be increasingly vocal in not only wishing all faculty members, a "Very Merry & reverential Christmas," but whistle Christmas Carols as they stroll around the campus.

The idea that there is something threatening in celebrating Christmas is so insane that it needs to be openly defied.

Did they also ban ‘ramadan’ in order not to offend Christians?

I love this arguement.

How many of the self righteous have Christmas lights on their houses and a Christmas tree in their living rooms?

Celebration makes you a hypocrite.

Be a shut in.

Order pizza in.

Get duck.

Buy know one anything. Expect nothing.

Turn off your phone.

Does the University of Minnesota have Monday, Dec. 25 off? And what is the reason? What is the name of the holiday?

Does anyone remember that "holidays" comes from "holy days"?

Hopefully, students of intelligence will tell the university to shove it up their collective Obamaholes.

I was not aware that a government-funded institution could restrict free expression of religion

String up the liberals on campus. This includes the “students,” moonbat “professors,” and retarded “administrators.”

They can be the decorations on the Christmas trees.

Hey Dean, I got your diversity right here on my hip. It is going to come to that soon.
