And some of us think the war on Christmas circa 2014 is bad. Anyway, they still allowed us to display a Christmas tree and a Menorah in our public library this year.
I remember one year our local school banned all Christmas decorations because it might offend some minority groups. The TV station interviewed a couple of Muslim parents and they said they love Christmas. Talk about the school going apeshit over political correctness imagining offense where none exists.
