MSU removes Christmas tree after complaint from Jewish professor

We don’t even know that the Jewish professor exists. The co-chair of the diversity committee (read “anti-christian fanatic”) said that a Jewish professor complained.

I suggest they decorate the complainant and stick his feet in a concrete tree stand in the middle of the school.

This idiocy has to stop - it really does. Unless America fights back to keep its culture and traditions, malcontents like this will destroy us as a nation.

To all Freepers, a heartfelt MERRY CHRISTMAS from me.

Thank you. And a HAPPY HANUKKAH to you!

Can anyone on campus spot the diversity official? Is he known by all?

[Uri’el-2012]

Is he really a Jew ?

or does he worship haSatan ?

[Ann Archy]

Good Grief.....this putz gives non anti-Christian Jews a bad name.

Hello, FReepin Jew Boy,

(I feel strange typing such words, but on we go...)

Thank you for your gracious message. I offer and accept friendly greetings from all, regardless of race, religion, blood type, political party or hat size. I bet you do, too. Our mothers brung us up right. ;o)

When I was in grade school, my whole class along with the teacher would have been arrested if it was today! We sang Christmas songs, put on a Christmas play and put up a 20 foot high Christmas tree right in the class room!...And all in a public school!!!! OH the horror!

didnt ‘you people’ bury the k word?

Not me. I'll dredge it up whenever I see one of "our alleged people" do or say something so stupid or egregious that it validates all the stereotypes and prejudices that my family and others like me have fought so hard to bury.

As a result, MSU officials are meeting Friday to discuss appropriate holiday decorations

If theyre gonna take down a tree because someone might find it offensive, then why bother with ANY decorations? Why bother with recognizing the holiday itself? What holiday do they think they're celebrating this time of year?

My hyper-liberal property prof (Florence Wagman Roisman) at IU Law School in Indianapolis did the same thing to our school in 2003.

Just as a note, a Christmas tree and a menorah are displayed at the White House.

Sanity Rules! MSU allows Christmas tree to go up again in building lobby. ....

"After learning about the complaint and the removal of the tree, administrators scheduled a meeting for Friday afternoon to discuss appropriate holiday decorations at the school. That meeting is now canceled.
“We decided this is the right thing to do, and I am glad there was widespread agreement about it,” President Mike. Nietzel said in a news release.

That’s fine, but where is that pesky diversity official hiding?

Hoo-ray!

[Blue Turtle]

...with other religious holiday symbols. There, now we all can relax and not take offense. RIDICULOUS!

I can’t wait until February, Black History Month. I want some pictures up of white soldiers who fought to free the slaves....

His fifteen minutes of fame I guess. The Christmas tree should stay the Professor should leave. JMO.

I have Jewish friends and they are not offended by my Christmas tree.I don't know the meaning of yutz but I agree with you.;))

at the December membership meeting

If so, I'll bet the shirt is brown.

“Stone said Jewish faculty members were invited to put up a menorah display but declined, telling Stone they were worried the display would be stolen.”

The equivelant for a Christmas Tree for Jews would be a large Dreidel.

If the Jews put up a Menorah there should be a Nativity for balance.
