RSSChristmas Tree Back Despite Liberal Whining
Posted By: J.J. Jackson* on December 4, 2007
A Christmas tree that had been removed from the atrium of Strong Hall at Missouri State University will return, along with other religious holiday symbols in that building, school president Michael T. Nietzel said in a news release Thursday morning.A meeting that had been scheduled Friday to discuss appropriate MSU holiday decorations has been canceled, he said.“We decided this is the right thing to do, and I am glad there was widespread agreement about it,” Nietzel said in the release. “Missouri State is an institution at which many different religions are represented, and we try to be sensitive to the many views people hold.”
“After having had a chance to air this out a bit more and consider the various perspectives of our campus community, I am happy that the Christmas tree will be back up along with the many others that were already on campus. I hope we can have it on display before the end of the day.”
The 20-foot artificial tree had been taken down Monday after Lorene Stone, dean of the College of Humanities and Public Affairs, was told by the co-chair of the president’s diversity commission that a Jewish faculty member said the tree showed “a lack of sensitivity” to those of other religions.
Courts have ruled that Christmas trees are secular symbols, along with the Jewish menorah.
Once again, stupidity tries to win out but is overcome. Once again we see that if ONE person complains that action must be taken. But when ONE person complains about the action that resulted it is not given the same weight as the one, snot nosed, liberal that complained in the first place. Meetings must be held and people must be consulted. And if you are lucky, that ONE person that is offended by other people’s religious displays is dealt with by the display being returned.
When we start basing actions on one person being offended, it only generates and infitite loop of reaction. If we hold the same standard that is. Because you being offended by the Christmas tree and getting it taken down results in my being offended at the tree being removed. If equality plays out then the tree has to be put back. Then you are offended again and the tree has to be taken down. Then I am offended and the tree goes back up …

I suppose somebody should cut down every evergreen tree in Missouri while they’re at it… lest a hiker be offended. Wow, people. It’s a Christmas Tree. It’s not a baby Jesus in a nativity display. It’s a tree with tinsel and lights. Liberals can be such retards.
And who would really care even if it was a baby Jesus? Only people who aren’t secure enough in their own beliefs - just like the losers this story talks about.
Agreed. lol
