SPRINGFIELD -- A Missouri State University department head took down a 20-foot Christmas tree (not the one in the photo) after a diversity official reported a complaint that it was insensitive to other religions. As a result, MSU officials are meeting Friday to discuss appropriate holiday decorations

Ho! Ho!....Oy!!
“diversity official”????......Achtung!!!
Yu vill remove das tree, Ja?
A great many people in this country need to get a life.
A Christmas Tree says, Christians are here. Perhaps he is more offended by our existence? There once was a country that broke the windows of stores that had Mogen Dovids on them. Do you recall its name Professor?
Tell me, how is a Christmas tree offensive? You know, Christmas being the time of year of peace, hope and joy...yeah, who wants to respect that?
Diversity Official? More like Diversity Commissar...
Alumns of MSU should stop all contributions to their disgraceful school.
I tell you as a Christian I am SOOOOO OFFENDED when I see a Menorah.... </sarcasm>
As an MSU alum, I hate to hear this stuff. It won’t play well, but the local newspaper, The Springfield News-Leader, will play right along. They have a new “Voices” section in the paper which sounds a lot like DU at times.
Springfield, Missouri, is a red city in a red county. Most of the leftist/pc crap we have going on here comes from the University.
Years ago, I was managing editor of a campus newspaper paper there. Just like any other campus, the leftist faculty has does its best to influence young minds.
The colleges, the newspaper, the public schools and the not-for-profit community are the bastions of leftist activity here.
Marx would be proud.
To all Freepers, a heartfelt MERRY CHRISTMAS from me.
Well, since I know thousands of them, I’ll do my part.
Peace, hope and joy is offensive to Muslim terrorists so the P.C. police must remove the tree.
Perhaps there are some Jewish professors here, that can explain.
None of my Jewish friends are bothered by Christmas Trees in public places
Any bets on whether the complaining professor is non-observant? I’d give odds he is not.
Doesn’t a Christmas tree celebrate diversity? Is Christmas NOT a national holiday?
Hmmm...one would think they would have discussed the "appropriate holiday decorations" BEFORE they took down the tree.
