Can't We ALL Just Get Along?

YES we can if we are all liberal, non-Christian and a minority if we all hate George W. Bush, corporations, the military and America as we've known it.

NO, we can't if you are conservative, white and a Christian. That would be impossible.

Christmas Tree controversy

Missouri State University took down a20-foot Christmas tree after a diversity official reported a complaint that it was insensitive to other religions.

As a result, Missouri State officials are meeting tomorrow to discuss appropriate holiday decorations.

How insensitive is it to offend such large numbers of people over a non-religious symbol because the minority might be offended by having religion forced upon them?

Enough is enough, but enough of what? The hyper-sensitivity that turns bureaucrats in quivering sissies or of the sad little complainers or the courts, both judicial and public opinion, that give their secular imprimatur?

All of the above.

UPDATE: Missouri State Reverses Decision About Removing Christmas Tree

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.
...

"It's not a big issue," he said. "Some people raised the question about the tree and the best way to approach it was to take it down to discuss it."

Yeah, it's the best approach if you're a wimp. It definately is not the best approach if you're the poor schlub that has to put it up, take it down and now put it back up. Maybe have the whiners and complainers do the set up next time.
