BAH! Humbug! dept: Yes, There Are Christmas Haters

CNS News   "In this special season of giving, Hollywood is willing to give people what entertainment executives think the country needs: a vicious, bloody takedown of Christmas. The Dec. 11 episode of
"*American Dad" on Fox exemplified those with a complete absence of Christmas spirit; it was titled "Season's Beatings.""....
....
The Batavia City School District in upstate New York explicitly instructed employees, "Expressions related to specific religions, e.g., 'Merry Christmas,' should not be included in any spoken or written remarks."
....
 16-year-old student Colin Curran ...prepared a playlist for an annual "holiday" breakfast for young children, a school adviser stated that the songs could not include the following words: Christmas, Hanukkah, Jesus, God or Santa Claus. "I questioned the logic behind these restrictions and was informed that since we live in an area with many different cultures, our principal does not want to offend anyone with belief-specific music." (Emphasis mine;TD)

Related, since we brought up that Fox show:Fox Television's Dung Pile "Michelle Obama says her daughters only watch Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. If her husband had a real FCC chairman, maybe Fox wouldn't be putting on a cartoon with a dog eating feces and vomit."

American Dad  The random escapades of Stan Smith, an extreme right wing CIA agent dealing with family life and keeping America safe, all in the most absurdist way possible. (Emphasis mine, TD). Renewed

The Commonwealth in England actually CANCELLED Christmas for a few years in the 17th century in England.

I note both the Commonwealth of England and the ban on Christmas have long disappeared into the pages of history, as will these current crop of Christmas haters!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!!!
