I’m sure next year they will say the Ramadan party has too much Islam in it, and they will host a hog roast instead.

Well it’s what they should do.

From South Park:

MC: And now, South Park Elementary presents the happy, non-offensive, non-denominational Christmas Play, with music and lyrics by New York minimalist composer, Philip Glass!

Voice-over: As I turn and look into the sun, the rays burn my eyes How like a turtle the sun looks.

Sheila: What the hell is this??? This is horrible!!!

Priest: This is the most God-awful piece of crap I’ve ever seen!!

Mr. Garrison: You’re the ones who made it this way!

Priest: Yeah, it’s because the Jews said it couldn’t be Christian.

Gerald: It wasn’t our idea to take out Santa Claus!

Elderly Tree Hugger: All you bastards ruined Christmas!

*Everyone starts fighting each other*

I assume that, when Ramadan rolls around in 2016, these colleges are going to ban any mention of it on Campus and force the Muslim Student Associations to hold Ramadan events off campus?

Are they also going to rename Ramadan and Hanukkah? Maybe Kwanzaa?

Then don't celebrate Christmas.

I don't participate in Ramadan because its to moslemy, I don't try to change it or call it "the holidays".

The first step was to destroy the heritage upon which the university was founded. Second is to remove Christianity. The third will be to found a Sharia Law study for the law school AKA Harvard. Ole’ Miss curriculum is about as difficult as the one I had as a Freshman in high school living in Texas.

I can only assume that the alumni who give them money don’t care, or they wouldn’t be pulling all this crap. Ole Miss has become a shame and a disgrace to its legacy and to Mississippi. Maybe it’s because of the feetsball that they’re doing it-I wish people could find it in themselves to make the huuuuge sacrifice to give up feetsball/s

Last night in my small town in Central Florida (red county) the police and fire departments drove through all the neighborhoods with Santa Claus. The speakers played Christmas carols. Santa Claus yelled “Merry Christmas, everyone!” I heard them coming, ran out and waved and thanked them. There were people on the sidewalks, old ones, young ones, all ones!

It was like a little oasis in the midst of the madness.

They’ve done it for years, maybe in your town too. Last night though was especially poignant somehow. I was wiping tears away while I walked home. I wasn’t the only one.

I think some of our tears were for people like the ones at Ole Miss...
