"Holiday Insensitivities"
Just read an article about how one school district (Texas maybe?) is really trying to "curb the holiday insensitivities" by only allowing "winter" parties - the staff and children aren't allowed to wear red or green, serve any red or green beverages or snacks and aren't allowed to greet each other with "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" (unsure how they will deal with that). This overboard political correctness has gotten SO crazy. I'm just shocked. I don't get it.

merry christmahanakwanzaa to you too.
seriously though people are too sensitive, that includes the people upset about not being able put up a "christmas" decoration. i also find it hilarious that parents are more upset about their kids not being able to wear red and green to school a few days out of the school year more than the sh*tty edcation those kids are receiving the majority of the days the kids are there :laugh:0 -

Surprised that was in Texas - they are generally less liberal than northern states0

It's annoying, but so is listening to the "real meaning" of Christmas chatter. It's the holidays. There are quite a few traditions this time of year. Let everyone celebrate how they wish.0

Merry Christmas.
Not trying to get anyone to argue - just looking for opinions. And no, I'm not upset. ;-)0 -

I wouldn't normally say anything, but OP appears offended at the lurkers.0 -

Um, but you DIDN'T say anything0 -
I'm sick to death of political correctness and people being overly sensitive. If I see one more post on FB demanding people to day Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays I might just throat punch someone. If someone says Merry Christmas and your Atheist then just roll with it and know that they're just wishing you good health and prosperity. Same if someone says Happy Ramadan or whatever...they're not meaning it to be offensive...that's just the lens of their worldview. My other gripe is people saying that America is a Christian nation so we must all be for Christmas. I grew up in a strict Christian home and still believe spirituality is important but don't try to tell me that America is a Christian country...it NEVER was until the 1950's. America is a melting pot of cultures and religions so grow up and get over it....people are different and have their own worldviews and cultures and that is what makes America so interesting.0

Political correctness can kiss my a**! I'm not religious but people get ridiculous with it. Christmas isn't even about religion anymore, its all about spending money and buying crap for others. If you can't even say 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas', then what the hell else is there to say! Umm...."Happy Winter?" or "Merry Gift exchanging?"0

You can't say "happy winter"...the religious people would freak saying your supporting paganism or druidism0 -
