Complete Headline: University Prof Wants You to Say This Instead of 'Merry Christmas' to Stomp Out 'Cultural Insensitivity'
Instead of saying "merry Christmas" this year, a University of Central Florida political science professor wants you to try out a new phrase: "Happy federal holiday."
The professor, Terri Susan Fine, argued in an editorial published in UCF Today that "we show cultural insensitivity both by equating one major holiday with a minor holiday and failing to recognize that diversity includes those who celebrate neither holiday."
When you say "merry Christmas" or "happy Chanukah," you're not being "inclusive" enough, according to Fine.

They already do: C.E., for "Common Era". They also use "BCE", for "Before Common Era".
It's the Christian calendar relabled.
How do they feel about saying “aloha snackbar”?
That was my thought when I read it. The “Federal God” must be given its due. Does that mean that the 10th amendment makes the states “minor gods”? So much for separation of church and state!
[[cultural insensitivity]]
It’s when you don’t run up and hug a homosexual and tell them how much you love their sin and how happy you are that they are out to destroy them oral culture In this country.
It’s when you cite a bible verse to anyone in public
It’s when you Give Credit to God for anything
It’s when you practice your religious belief, which is your constitutionally protected right to do so, and don’t bake a cake for a gay couple
It’s when... Heck- it’s when you don’t fall at the feet of the left and lick their boots clean for them
“Happy federal holiday”
That’s one of the days that Boxer gets to rest before being sent to the glue factory, right?
Agreed.
A total waste of “federal” and state taxpayer monies
Get rid of this bitch. Fire her sorry ***
I don’t say “Merry Christmas.”
I say “Merry Christ Mass.”
This cretin is a university professor, huh?
SIGH.
I make it a point to say “Merry Christmas” to every single person I meet these days. If someone idiot is offended by it, that’s THEIR problem.
It's the Christian Calender that they are attempting to call something else because they *HATE* that Christianity is the foundation of our dating system.
Nobody pays attention to "common era" crap. It is more or less universally still "A.D."
And this moron gets paid for poisoning young minds.
And this moron gets paid for poisoning young minds.
This insensitive clown doesn’t go nearly far enough, because it offends those offended by the government’s insistence that we celebrate those days it orders us to celebrate. Instead, this:
Happy Merry Festive Significant Observant Noted Protested Ignored Endured Inclusive Something or Other All things to All People with Apologies to All.
And, of course, I apologize to anyone demanding it for any reason.
Jews use different dates.
“Holiday” is derived from “Holy Days”. It is Old English.
Happy Holy Days!!!!
BTW, Merry Christmas Marines!
