Cornell University Warns Mistletoe Isn’t 'Inclusive' Enough And Students Shouldn't Use It
Daily Caller ^ | December 4, 2015 | Blake Neff

A guide to "inclusive" Christmas decorations created by Cornell University warns that any decorations that remotely evoke religion, which includes stars and mistletoe, are incompatible with the school's commitment to diversity.

The university then rattles off a list of decorations that are "NOT consistent" with the school's "commitment to diversity and inclusiveness." The discouraged decorations include the following:

The schools says that holly, Santa Clauses, and wreaths might be acceptable decorations, but only after "dialogue within [a] living unit or area" to ensure nobody is offended.

Universities around the country have been issuing Christmas guidelines aimed at discouraging the display of religious symbols. A recent guidance email at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, for instance, warned against letting holiday parties become "Christmas parties in disguise" and discouraged using terms such as "Secret Santa" because they could offend people.

The presence of anything that even remotely brings to mind anything Christian or Jewish simply kills diversity. In other situations the same thing is true for anything Caucasian, especially Caucasian Male.

Clear religious discrimination, but who’s counting at this point?

I thought the liberals would love mistletoe, since it is considered a fellow parasite.

Hey students, f*** Cornell University and its “guidelines.” Do whatever you want to celebrate Christmas, and then tell the leftist b@st@rds to shove it up their eff’ing @sses.

“That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

I think that as part of a re-education camp after we have our revolution, should include brain surgery to remove the lesions which cause these kinds of thought. It needs to be done with access to the brain with a large enough drill bit to be sure we have access to eliminate all bad cells, even though the college administrator would end up with the IQ of a turnip. LOL delicious fantasy.

The arrogance of liberalism, to decide that they are being inclusive by telling a group of people (Christians, Jews, Caucasians) what THEY can’t say, can’t have, and can’t do. Only a mentally ill “liberal” mind could work that way.

as long as there is no price to pay (backlash) this idiocy will continue. They are using PC for evil and will carry it as far as they xpcan take it until someone says, "Emough", spanks them and gives them a good wedgie.

Hey Cornell and you call yourselves a University, a place of education. Well shove your “inclusive” list up your “inclusive” butts. You are opposite of education, learning, and inclusiveness.

Political Correctness....destroy it.

Usher in an era of Freedom rather than Utopian fascist discourse.

After all, B. Hussein Soebarkah says that Christmas is about tiny trees just needing a little love. It’s not about all that Jesus and “God as Man” stuff. Nope...

So "inclusive" means excluding Christians.

Cornell has sunken deeper into the Marxist/atheistic/PC/Kwanzaa cesspool than thought possible.

In the 1960s we had to contend with Prof. George McT. Kahin’s “Hanoi Propaganda Project” (aka Southeast Asian Studies Project) but now Cornell has decided that, like the movie title “South Vietnam Wasn’t Enough”.

The pity is that there are a few very good, principles conservative professors there but I don’t know how long they can last under this combined Marxist/PC onslaught of religious hatred, Marxist indoctrination and PC BS.
