Catholic League president Bill Donohue discusses the way Christmas is being celebrated on college campuses this year:
“At Missouri State University, the Office of Multicultural Student Services does not list Christmas as part of its December celebrations: but it does list Kwanzaa, which unfortunately they think is spelled Kwanza. They celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from mid-September to mid-October; October is Gay and Lesbian Month; and Native American Heritage Month captures November. But no Christmas—just “Kwanza.”
“At SUNY Buffalo, they celebrate a Holiday Carnival which includes ‘a Hanukkah table, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day [this is a Canadian holiday], St. Nick’s Day and Kings Day.’ There are also red and green cookies for the nostalgic, and chicken is served at the Kwanzaa table.
“At Delaware College of Art and Design they believe in diversity so much that ‘to help set the holiday mood,’ says Lynda Schmid, director of admissions, ‘students make multisided solids based out of various materials, including paper and copper.’ Sounds like a ball.
“Penn State is clearly the most sensitive campus this season. Patreese Ingram has a title that is just perfect for censoring Christmas: she is an Associate Professor of Diversity Education. She cautions that we need to be careful when planning a holiday party. For example, ‘Try to avoid dates that may conflict with important dates in other cultures and religions.’ Also, ‘Try to keep decorations neutral, with symbols—flowers, balloons, candles and snowflakes—that can be enjoyed by most people.’ Best of all is her advice about eating and drinking: Remember, she says, ‘pork is forbidden for Jewish and Muslim people. Shellfish is prohibited for Jewish people and beef is not eaten by Hindus. While coffee, tea and caffeinated soda may seem “safe,” members of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and Seventh-Day Adventists are prohibited from consuming caffeine. Therefore, juice may be an acceptable choice.’
“I have a better idea. Why not just start the academic year a month earlier and cancel December? Either that or spike the juice with some Vodka.”
On the average college campus, folks are going to zero in on the "party" in "holiday party"...and we all know what college parties are like. :P
I have relatives in that denomination and that's not true. They are cautioned against it, but most ignore the caution.
"Professor Ingram, please tell me again why I can't find a job. Please explain to me why it is that when Asian-educated students come to the U.S. they 'steal' the job I'm entitled to."
It's a shame that parents these days are spending tens of thousands of dollars a year so their sons and daughters can be indoctrinated in all this left-wing bullcrap.
These moonbat professors and administrators want diversity?
How about hiring some CONSERVATIVE professors? They're an endangered species on every campus....virtually non-existant.
Can we assume there is no Christmas Holidays time off?

I may just shoot myself.
Christianity the bulwark of Western Civilization must GO !!!!
Academics preach multiculturalism out of one side of their mouths and this from the other.
How much of this crap will be too much ???
