A Seattle official has been handed a sarcastic award for banning city workers from displaying Christmas or Hanukkah decorations in their own homes while on Zoom calls to avoid offending colleagues with different beliefs.

Gloria Ngezaho is the workforce equity manager for King County, which encompasses Seattle, and was handed the Ebenezer Award from the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

Ngezaho's draconian edict was first revealed in November, and he was handed the award last week over his 'Guidelines for Holiday Decorations' rules.

Take a bureaucrat, shove coal up its tight ass and whip it up into a frenzy over Woke ideology ... that is a equity manager.

I wouldn’t be showing my face or my home in these zoom calls. It would either be a blank screen or something else.

This would be a winning lawsuit for whatever employee stood up to this nonsense.

But.. it’s Seattle. So they’ll eat the loss of freedom like good little communists.

You're getting something special from St. Nicholas this year: an Arius style heretic beatdown.

I’ve never understood why people meekly submit to this idea. It’s based on the idea that Christianity is offensive. The idea itself is offensive and bigoted.

Ebenezer means “stone of help.” From then on, every time an Israelite saw the stone erected by Samuel, he would have a tangible reminder of the Lord's power and protection. The “stone of help” marked the spot where the enemy had been routed and God's promise to bless His repentant people had been honored. The Lord had helped them, all the way to Ebenezer.

Ironic.

I have a framed autographed photo of Rush Limbaugh on the wall behind me for Zoom calls.

I would have gathered holiday-celebrating coworkers and encouraged them to do it anyway.

The name and his appearance tell me he is either a recent immigrant from Nigeria or from a Nigerian-American family.
As such, his mind set is one of a Socialist or Communist.
They are not known for tolerating or encouraging different points of view. Notice Kwanza and BLM are just fine.

Maybe it goes further. If all his views on CRT, L. Farakhan and Woke-blatherings were out, some may consider him a black supremicist. I hope there is loud, aggressive and prolonged pushback from those bothered by this man.

Good. Be annoying, if you must comply and show your face and home.

Kwanza exists only in the halls of academia.Not even the black people in my area don’t give it mind. And I am one of the few white people around. People celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas. If some “equity chief”doesn’t like it they can pound sand.
