How silly has fear of giving offense gotten? This silly:
...Red and green tissue paper to wrap presents was also crossed off the list because it looked too "Christmasy," McMillan said.
"One of the parents said, 'If we allow Santa, what do we say if a child brings in a swastika? Do we allow that too?' " McMillan said. "All I could think of was, are you kidding? You're comparing a Christmas ornament to a swastika? It seems as if reason is lost somewhere and I just hope we can find it again."...
Yeah. This is what happens when the grown-ups (and the lawyers) throw the ability to exercise judgment out the window. Absurdity is sure to follow.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

This is New Leftism in action.
If this was aimed at Jewish customs, it would be seen as anti Semitic, and rightly so.
However, Christians and Christianity are fair game.
We've lost the ability to reverse course, the New Left is the New Establishment, the Public Zeitgeist. Its time to play the game. Victimization Identity Politics, any criticism as hatefilled anti phobic rant, and so on and so forth. Group identity politics for those who have been excluded from them and PC protections.
Dont hate the player, hate the game. The New Leftist game needs to be exposed for the ugliness that it is, meanwhile groups need to protect themselves from anihiliation, persecution, villification, blood and other libels, and so on and so forth.
Or as Abbie Hoffman put it...
Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger.
