In the Commonwealth of Marxachusetts Christmas has become one of the most vulgar swear words. Towns and other localities go to extreme lengths to refrain from using a word that political left has deemed to be the most offensive word ever uttered. It is so reminiscent of the lengths the wizarding community in Harry Potter went to to avoid naming Lord Voldemort. Stores go to the same extreme level in all of their ‘holiday’ advertising. Store clerks are forbidden from wishing their customers the hated Merry Christmas. I am sure it is the same all over this country, except in the reddest of red enclaves.
Banning the name of the Holiday That Must Not Be Named is not enough anymore. Christmas trees have proved to be too offensive for fragile and pathetic progressives: Town Cuts Tree Lighting From Holiday Celebration To Appease Those ‘Offended’ By The Tradition (themix.net)
The town of Durham, New Hampshire finally submitted to the politically correct police this year by agreeing to remove the tree lighting from their annual holiday celebration. The decision was announced after the town received complaints about the tree lighting tradition.
CBS reported that the event which was previously known as the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony will now be called Frost Fest. And the tree lighting at the center of the celebration will no longer be part of it.
While Santa will attend the event, he will not be in a town firetruck as he has in the past. In addition, the wreaths that traditionally adorned lamp posts on Main Street will not be put up this year.
Town Council member Sally Tobias explained that these changes were made after someone complained that they are “offended” by the Christmas themes in the ceremony.
“There was another private citizen that came forward and said that he had always had a problem with the Christmas tree, as he called it,” Tobias said.
Two whinny individuals complain and every single person who enjoys Christmas traditions is punished, how inclusive.
These delicate anf pitiable progressives can’t even stomach the name Jesus when they do go through the motions of carrying out traditional Christmas activities: Parents Furious When School Changes Christmas Carol Lyrics To Be ‘More Inclusive’ (themix.net)
Parents and staff at a London primary school are upset after the headmaster changed the lyrics to a popular Christmas carol “in the name of inclusion and political correctness,” according to a watchdog group.
Zakia Khatun, the headteacher of Whitehall Primary School in East London, told students they were not to sing “Lord” in “Away in a Manger,” and replaced it with “little baby” so “all pupils” could participate in an annual Nativity Tuesday.
The mythical separation of church and state is used as the primary justification for waging this war on Christmas. The separation of church and state does not exist anywhere in the Constitution, nor is it part of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. That clause only prevents the Federal Government from establishing an official state religion through laws passed using the formal legislative process. Selling religious candy at army bases is not the same: Military exchange to stop selling ‘Jesus’ Scripture Candy after secular group complains | U.S. News (christianpost.com)
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service said it will stop selling Jesus-themed candy in response to a complaint filed by a secular legal organization warning that selling the treats at commissary and exchange stores is a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation announced Friday that it received a response to a letter it sent recently to the AAFES objecting to the sale of “Jesus Candy” at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
AAFES is the retailor found on U.S. Army and Air Force installations worldwide.
The Establishment Clause most definitely does not apply to the states. It did not when the Bill of Rights was ratified. It was not extended to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court concocted the entire incorporation doctrine in direct violation of both the 1st and 14th Amendments. Only tyrannical and fragile progressives would ban school bus drivers from wearing Christmas themed clothing, decorating buses, and playing Christmas carols: Pennsylvania School District Does Damage Control After Memo to Bus Drivers Goes Viral (townhall.com)
A Pennsylvania school is attempting to do damage control after issuing a memo instructing bus drivers to remove Christmas decorations from their vehicles, stop wearing anything related to the holiday, and avoid playing Christmas music.
“If you have decorated your bus with anything specific to the Christmas Holiday or any other decorations relating to a specific religion, please remove them immediately,” read the Dec. 15 memo from the Transportation Supervisor at the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. “In addition, employees are instructed not to wear clothing related to Christmas or any other religious holiday.”
District offices and bus drivers are also “to refrain from playing Christmas music” or any music connected to a particular religion.
Libs of TikTok pointed out the district took a different attitude toward “Pride Month.”
