Sanitizing Christmas in speech

School students across our land are free to thank anyone they wish while celebrating Thanksgiving so long as it is not GOD.

Even Christmas is being sanitized where Santa Claus is okay, but not Jesus Christ. “Jingle Bells” is okay, but not “Silent Night”.

One Kansas newspaper recently published an apology for referring to a “Christmas tree” rather than a “Community tree” during a recent “Winterfest” celebration in downtown Wichita.

Most of this stuff comes from a small minority of pagan, speech-code fascists, atheists and other agnostic free thinkers.

I say “fooey” to these guys, and “Merry Christmas” to them and all of our Tribune neighbors.
