Another absolutely disgusting example of pre-emptive dhimmitude, in the name of tolerance and multiculturalism, right here in the US: First Jell-O, now Santa.

So long, Halloween parade. Farewell, Santa’s gift shop.

The holiday traditions are facing elimination in some Oak Lawn schools this year after complaints that the activities are offensive, particularly to Muslim students.

Final decisions on which of the festivities will be axed will fall to the principals at each of Ridgeland School District 122’s five schools, Supt. Tom Smyth said.

Parents expect that the announcement is going to add to the tension that has been building since officials agreed earlier this month to change the lunch menu to exclude items containing pork to accommodate Muslim students. News that Jell-O was struck from the menu caused such a stir that officials have agreed to bring it back.

Gelatin is often made with tissue or bones of pigs or other animals.

If the d@mn Muslims are offended let them open their own schools or keep their children home. I am sorry but this is just asinine & we should not adapt to their customs. They ought to be adapting to the American way of life or stay in their own countries. Are supermarkets going to take pork off the shelves next? I am so sick of these people.

I’m sorry, but Christmas is a national holiday, and federal law trumps local school districts.

At least, until Sharia becomes the law of the land...

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

IMO, we should have a national holiday for offending muslims.

[Salvation]

Not OK!!!

All this PC insanity is going to explode one day. And when it does there’s going to be bloodshed. Lot’s and lot’s of bloodshed.

[I see my hands]

Muslims are like the weather in that many people complain but no one does anything about them.

I AM SICK OF THESE PEOPLE (I AM HAVING A MICHAEL SAVAGE OUTBURST)!!!

TEACHERS IN ENGLAND HAVE STOPPED TEACHING THE HAULOCAUST TO AVOID OFFENDING MUSLIMS

THE FBI IS NOW GETTING DIVERSITY TRAINING FROM MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD FRONT GROUP TO AVOID OFFENDING MUSLIMS

BRITISH AIRLINES HAVE BANNED BIBLES ON FLIGHTS TO MUSLIM COUNTRIES TO AVOID OFFENDING MUSLIMS

THE POPE APOLOGIZES FOR OFFENDING MUSLIMS BY CRITICISING THEIR RELIGION (BECAUSE OF DEATH THREATS)

NEWSPAPERS HAVE DROPPED SATIRE CARTOONS TO AVOID OFFENDING MUSLIMS

Islam is a religion of peace, and if you don’t believe that, they’ll kill you.

Let’s just ban Muslims who don’t like Christmas and Halloween from public schools....there....solved.

[pandoraou812]

Whenever I go into a gas station or a store and am unsure if is Muslim owned I ask very nicely if they are Muslim or Sikh. If they are Sikh I will gladly give them my business. If they are Muslim I walk out. I refuse to give them my business. Since Muslims hate the Sikhs they get very upset. If they get offended oh well I really don’t care. I am never rude to them either. I still have the right so far to chose where I want to spend my money. Plus the gas stations they own by where I live you have to watch the pumps as they have been caught cheating us more then once.

[Brandie]

Great idea you have.

[FlashBack]

I am so sick and tired of this BS “Offended” cr*p!!! The fact that our spineless representation keeps folding like a deck of cards makes me just as pi**ed-off too...when did we become France anyway??????

[MarineBrat]

Gee, I sure wouldn't want to offend...

[kagnew]

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I too, am so darn sick of the Muslims and what sickens me even more is that our government is so intimidated by the Muslims that they cave into every little piddling thing. Come quickly Lord Jesus and take me away from this earth. It is getting to crazy for me.

If large numbers of parents pull their kids out of public school over this, the district will lose a lot of money over it. They should see just how far the knuckle-heads are willing to go to keep the muzzies happy. How about if there's nothing left in the school but muzzies?

I am surprised that Muslims even want to send their children to our public schools, when so many of them force the homosexual crap down the kids throats.
