Remember the old “South Park” episode where they sanitized the school Christmas program of everything that “offended” someone. At one point the teacher asked if anyone was offended by the paper star hanging from the ceiling and one person raised their hand. They made Kenny climb up a rickety ladder over a shark tank to take it down.

How about hanging a big f*ing dildo - they are probably okay with that!


Read “Unlimited Access.” It was written by a former FBI agent who worked White House Security during the Clinton years. He includes pictures of a White House Christmas Tree covered in sex toys.

If a religious holiday isn't celebrated by your religion, or you are an atheist, why would you care one whit that said holiday is being celebrated?

Why do you want to be included in the celebration of something you don't believe in?

Grow up, Millennials, before it is too late.

So Cornell’s approach to “inclusiveness” and “diversity” is to exclude and limit. Makes sense. I guess. If you’re insane.

A classic episode, the topper was bringing in Philip Glass to compose the music for the school play, then everybody got upset and started fighting each other because the play sucked so much then started blaming each other for taking out the good parts.

That episode really demonstrated almost better than anything the absurdity of Political Correctness.

LOL, there were several times when Kenny was placed in great peril, then he actually wound up surviving at the end. That was back when they killed him off every episode.

Eid Al-Fitr (end of Ramadan) celebration 2015 at Cornell

Sure as hell looks like a campus facility was used for a religious celebration. I wonder how "inclusive" it was?

Cornell should be closed. It is an evil place to be.

I received this reply from a Jewish group at Cornell

This does not appear to be offensive, rather the university is not permitting any religion based displays in order to be inclusive of all religions. This does not mean that you personally cannot have a menorah or a Star of David - rather public displays in school buildings should not be religion based, which makes sense.

Being inclusive by excluding. And they don’t see the irony.

Talk about being Eurocentric; has it not occurred to these "educators" that in many of the cultures they want to include snow is about the last thing to be expected on December 25th?

OTOH, I'd guess that camels would be almost mandatory and a yellow star with "Jude" in the center would be quite acceptable on top of the tree or otherwise.
