UPDATE: School cancels ‘Christmas’ after single complaint

"Parents are sounding off after a West Virginia elementary school opted to ditch its planned Christmas celebrations in the name of political correctness.
"Hollywood Elementary School officials planned to celebrate with the “12 Days of Christmas” leading up to the holiday with fun themes like “elf day” and “Christmas sweater day,” but principal Tamber Hodges told WVNS a single complaint forced them to cancel the celebrations.
. . . 
“Don’t tell me that my son dressing like an elf ‘offends’ you. He’s 4!” she continued. “He still believes in the magic of Christmas. Let him be a kid! You might not agree with me, and that’s okay. But my child WILL be participating, even if he’s the only one. You’ll be able to recognize him…he’ll be the one dressed like an elf. Merry Christmas and God bless!”

Cornell warns students mistletoe isn't 'inclusive' so don't use it  . . . “University members are reminded to be respectful of the religious diversity of our students and colleagues and are encouraged to use an inclusive approach in celebrating the holiday season,” the document says. Students are encouraged to be more “diverse” by either focusing on winter instead of Christmas or by including decorations for multiple holidays alongside secular decorations.

"The university then rattles off a list of decorations that are “NOT consistent” with the school’s “commitment to diversity and inclusiveness.” The discouraged decorations include the following:
-Nativity scenes
-Menorahs
-Angels
-Mistletoe
-Stars (when placed on top of trees)
-Crosses
-Stars of David
"While the religious connotations of nativity scenes or Stars of David is rather obvious, it’s not clear why mistletoe is considered as possibly offensive."

"Student protesters at Lebanon Valley College have managed to encapsulate everything outsiders see as wrong with the current campus “revolution”: privileged students finding outrage in mundane things."
