Seniors decry ban on Christmas tree in their complex in Newhall
"Residents in a Newhall senior apartment complex are protesting an order from management to remove their beloved Christmas tree from the community room because, they were told, it's a religious symbol. "
...."We could put out Easter baskets, have turkey for Thanksgiving but no tree for Christmas because it has Christ's name in the beginning of Christmas," Johnson said.
"Frances Schaeffer, who is Jewish, said she doesn't understand the property management company's stance.
"This tree is a symbol of reverence that we can all enjoy regardless of our religious beliefs," she said.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee: It's Not 'Tradition' to Call It a Christmas Tree "“Governor Chafee, his famous line, which he says about everything, is that ‘times are changing.’ He said times are changing and he wants to be politically correct. Well, with me political correctness doesn’t really work,” Costa told CNSNews.com.
"This is the second year that Chafee has called the Christmas tree in the Rhode Island State House a “holiday tree.” In 2011, protesters sang “O Christmas Tree" there during the ceremonial tree lighting."
