Yet, excluding these "non-inclusive" items is the epitome of inclusiveness.

Twits don't realize that 99% of what the push for is not inclusive and should therefore be scrapped.

“Inclusive” is genocide.

My mistletoe is inclusive to cute girls. It's also inclusive to not so cute girls. But it's not inclusive to Helen Thomas looking girls.

Glad I went to Georgia Southern and not Cornell.

Let's just face it: Bacchus will be worshiped at far more college parties this month than Jesus.

But that's just the beginning of my Airing of Grievances.

Here is the deal: you can worship Baal for all I care. Sacrifice your chickens and goats.

I will worship my God. I will put with a nativity science and hang lights on my shrub.

When we go out to get the paper in the morning we will give each other a wave and bitch about taxes.

THAT is America. That is why we are exceptional.

Apparently Cornell is staffed by angry lesbians who once stood under mistletoe and didn’t find any takers.

So, is Kwanzaa's fake menorah banned as well?

There's something weird about banning things in order to be "inclusive," isn't there?

Actually, it could be not only included but virtually required if a little creative thinking is used.

Mistletoe is among the plants that is toxic to eat. As a Cornell professor, I know that our toxic plants collections and exhibits have a very long tradition are actually quite famous. They are used as student teaching tools. We have courses in several colleges that cover toxic plants.

Simple solution. Mistletoe can be displayed as a content-rich educational exhibit that supports our approved toxicology and and biomedical sciences courses.

Do it for the students.

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.

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.

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?
