Has anyone read this article?
This is an example (in my opinion) of Political correctness taken too far.

Indeed!. I fail to understand how this helps foster understanding and multiculturalism either. Multiculturalism does not mean totally obliliterating traces of one culture while tolerating others.
Whats the judge going to do next....decide against xmas decorations in public places and workplaces so nobody feels 'left out'?
I hope she is out of her jurisdiction in making this decision. One expects a few grinches and scrooges at this time of the year though.

I thought the link was to the Christmas trees at Seattle's SeaTac airport that were initially taken down because a rabbi threatened to sue.
After the backlash the rabbi backed off and gave some bulls$%t about never wanting the trees taken down.
In India there are people of all religions celebrating Diwali; maybe North Americans should follow our lead here.
If religious and cultural tolerance develop, the Rabbi's, Mullah's and Pujaris will have no good business. Do you think they would ever accept such a life......

Wonder if the judge is a Jew?
Does anybody know the origin of the name Marion Cohen?
Here are some viewpoints

I couldn't agree more!! All this PC stuff has been taken way too far and it's just getting crazy now. I myself have a tree up in my own house for god's sake!
People! Let's just call this time of year what it REALLY is...it's Christmas!!
Unless people really want Eid and Diwali and Hanukah and every other religious festival to be put under one generic term of "Happy Holidays"...

Its Jewish, but that does not matter does it? Unless you are stereotyping.
Having a jewish name does not mean shes a practicing jew. Being a practicing jew does not mean one is intolerant either.
If anything she is probably left-leaning...to a fault.
