Christmas tree has nothing to with Christ. This pagan symbol of life was once transformed to tell the story of Christ’s resurrection to a foreign culture but its message is lost on our current culture.

” “He tries to be politically correct 24-7.”

So the traditional Santa Claus will now be the genderless, neutral “Winter Season Person” with a slim and trim body and of no identifiable national or racially distinctive facial features or dress.

Additionally there will be no more “naughty and nice” stuff, too judgmental. Instead “Winter Season Person” will keep a data base on the under served and oppressed.

None of this reindeer being forced into involuntary labor either. WSP’s sleigh will be solar powered and of tiny carbon foot print.

Has any PC idea been overlooked?

College Reverses “Christmas” Tree Ban

By Todd Starnes

Oops.

A North Carolina community college that came under fire after they told students they could not use the word “Christmas” to promote a Christmas tree sale — has reversed its decision.

“It’s a misunderstanding based on a legitimate mistake we made,” said Atticus Simpson, vice president of student development at Western Piedmont Community College.

In other words, the college goofed up when they changed the BEST Society’s Christmas tree sale to a Holiday tree sale.

“We thought we were violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by promoting the sale of Christmas trees — which we thought would be promoting one religion over another,” Simpson told Fox News.

The student group contacted Alliance Defending Freedom — a legal advocacy group that handles many First Amendment issues. The ADF promptly sent the college a letter urging them to either reconsider their decision or face possible legal action.

“We’re pleased the college did the right thing,” attorney Matt Sharp told Fox News. “It really is ridiculous they tried to make this club use the word holiday instead of Christmas.”

Sharp said the college has already changed the wording on their website and taking other steps to remedy the situation.

This is a small town in Western NC, not a liberal city. It created quite an uproar on Facebook and the idiots relented. “Holiday trees”. And what exactly is the “holiday”? I am so sick of these morons!

The irony is this ex-RINO Marxist “Independent” ran to the left of both the Democrat and GOP nominees. To say he is execrable would be a compliment.
