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.

Ban employee names like Matthew, Luke, john, Mark just in case it brings offense?
Er…according to Nancy, wouldn’t that be “Schwanza”?
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you’ve been living under (Gloria)
But you really don’t remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
If you are offended, that’s your problem not mine.
On the positive side, all that pressure and heat will turn that coal into diamonds. Chocolate diamonds are now being hawked at low end retail as a thing now. Used to be used on saws, drill bits ….
The purge sounds more and more like a good idea.
It should be noted that due to this taking pace there had better not be any more of that hideous call to prayer sound ever again in that city. Have they banned that noise since it is insulting to most Americans after 9-11.
No “hedge stones” in Seattle.
The only place I encountered happy holidays was Trader Joe’s yesterday where I bought some pan chocolate Or what hipsters today call chocolate croissants I went to several Jewish jewelry stores everyone was merry Christmas they even advertise it on their billboards here Genesis and king jewelers and I know the owners of both and one are actually Orthodox Jews From Israel
And I told them that was why I picked them to buy from them or very cordial
I mean if I’m in another culture I’m going to give salutations for whatever their holiday is unless it’s something absurd like you know let’s be head infidel day
I have celebrated patriotic days in Colombia and Jamaica and Brazil and even hardly enough Switzerland lol
The hipster finook Who said happy holidays to me I just looked at him I didn’t say anything tacky or confrontational I just let it go I’m like I’m not gonna change him why be rude he doesn’t know any better probably
Correction: no “stones of help” in fuc*ed up Seattle.
Get rid of this anti-Christian, anti-Semitic weirdo.
But the Civil War battle flags I have hanging from all of my walls are still okay, right?
Regards,
Do not insult TWINKIES, I carried a box of Twinkies around in my truck for over 10 years, hard as a rock but just great when dipped in hot coffee!
TWINKIES—THE FOREVER FOOD!
The appropriate response to a request like that should have been then and is now I WON'T.

The arrogance of multiculturalism on display. Who is this African to tell Americans what they can do in their own home? Gloria is a bigot. He’s using his petty power to persecute Christians and Jews. It was a sad day when bigots got the power to be offended to rule others.
The hazards associated with zoom calls.
Why be offended? Would the preference be a no holds bar approach? How many would be offended by other religious symbols (all of them) used by the plethora of available symbology and iconic representations?
I would.
Also Muslims can wear their hijab and Sikhs can wear their turbans, in the home or at the office. Nothing offensive about that, doncha-know! /spit
Caesar would give the thumbs down to anyone wearing a crucifix, for fear of offending the pagan gladiators. Good grief, Charlie Brown.
There’s a very simple solution to this. The equity manager has decided that an employee’s home is actually a government office during a zoom call.
Send the government a bill for rental of office space.
A BIG bill.
When a woke darling gives me “Happy holidays” I reply back with a smile then, “And Merry Christmas and a few Happy Holy Days to you!”
