Santa Claus, Christmas trees and the colors red and green are examples of inappropriate “religious iconography” during the holiday season, according to a paper distributed during a “Respecting Religious Diversity” event at the University of Minnesota.




These people have lost their fricking minds.

How in the hell can you "celebrate religious diversity" if no one is allowed to use the icons of their religion?

Sounds more like "hide your religion" to me.

Exactly.

How in the world can you be diverse if everyone is conforming to the same generic standard?

Why can't Universities just say...New Memo - we don't respect religious symbols of any kind. That's our respecticing religious diversity by disrepescting all religions.

But no that would seem oppresive and bigoted if Islamic students didn't get excused from class during the weeks of Ramadan like when I was in College. They got like three weeks excused absence.

Hell the black students only got 1 day excused absence. MLK day in College.

The White kids got marked absent if they didn't attend all days. No Christian holiday mattered to the administration.
