This "political correctness" has gone WAY too far. It's bad enough
that we don't have the 10 commandments in the public schools anymore
because somebody doesn't want to hurt the sand-devil MOOSELUM PAGANS
feelings. Now they feel the need to RUIN Christmas for the kids. FACE
IT PEOPLE...CHRISTmas is a celebration of the birth of JESUS and
that's one celebration you'll NEVER get changed. To HELL with anybody
who cares to whine about it. b&c

A South Carolina cancer center that gave Santa Claus the boot has
reversed its decision, but said they will ban any Christmas
decorations that are religious in nature – including the Nativity.
The Hollings Cancer Center in Charleston, SC, created a firestorm of
yuletide controversy after they told a volunteer that he would not be
allowed to dress up as Santa Claus.
A spokeswoman for the cancer center told Fox News & Commentary that
because of their state affiliation, they had decided not to have a
Santa presence. There were also some complaints from patients.
“A volunteer had dressed up as Santa and some folks complained that
they felt excluded – or that their beliefs didn’t line up with this,”
Hollings spokeswoman Vicky Agnew told Fox News. “In an effort to honor
as many of the cultural and ethnic beliefs that we see here in South
Carolina, we thought we would downplay a Santa presence this year.”
Their Santa ban lasted about two days – on Wednesday – they reversed
course.
“Perhaps we stumbled here,” Agnew said. “We are very well aware that
Santa is not a religious figure, but we are a state institution and we
wanted to tone down the overt commercial and any religious aspects to
it.”
Frank Cloyes, the volunteer who played Old Saint Nick, told the Post
and Courier newspaper that kids love the character.
“Santa is a tradition and everyone loves him,” he told the newspaper –
wondering where “political correctness and overregulation will end.”

Don't want to work on Christmas? Then maybe you should
have thought of that when you pitched a fit about me having
my reliigious holiday off.
Since I can't have my religious holiday nobody shoudl
have any religious holiday off.
