They should also ban the word "present", replacing it with "now", since everyone knows that present makes some children think of "Christmas" and they might be offended.

They should ban the word "tree" because whether it's oak, maple, elm, willow, or what have you, the word "tree" may make some child think of a Christmas tree, and someone may be offended.

They should then ban the letter "X", because even though it is intended to represent the Greek letter "Chi" when used in X-Mas, it still might make some children think of Christmas, and someone may be offended. Besides, who needs to learn about xylophones and xrays anyway?

They should ban the use of the word "manager" because that's a tad too close to "manger", and a simple typographical error could cause some child to think of Christmas, and someone may be offended.

In math, ban the idea, the concept, and especially the word "Angle", because it's too close to "angel", and... well, see above.

In fact, we should ban EVERYthing, because something, somewhere, may trigger a child's imagination, and may remind them of Christmas somehow. And we all know it's better to go back to living in caves, to dying young, to suffering from the inability to even speak with one another, than to accidentally bring the idea of God or Jesus into a conversation in any possible way.

Oh, and never mind that a majority is offended by the idea that we CANNOT utter anything that may be construed as religious. Sigh...

Those people who x-ray xylophones for a living.

That which is not mandatory is forbidden.

All of what you said will go into effect next year.
