Grinch of the Year

This lady, Patricia Sonntag, certainly should get Grinch of the Year award if there ever was one. We are all used to the Scrooges who like to ban Christmas. This lady wants to go beyond it and to band just about every holiday. Not only is any holiday with a wisp of religious history on her chopping block, American national holidays like "the 4th of July" is on her chopping block. I guess she's worried that a foreigner in our country would be offended by the host country celebrating its Independence Day. If a foreigner in our country is offended by the 4th of July celebrations, then he shouldn't be here. Honestly though, I doubt there is one, save the Al-Qaeda operatives. This is more communist efforts to transform America.


An administrator at California State University, Sacramento has banned decorations pertaining to Christmas and the 4th of July, among other holidays, from her office because they represent "religious discrimination" and "ethnic insensitivity.""Time has come to recognize that religious discrimination, as well as ethnic insensitivity to certain holidays, is forbidden," Patricia Sonntag, director of the Office of Services to Students with Disabilities, stated in the directive she e-mailed to members of her staff on Dec. 9....
The memo specifically names Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Valentine's
Day, the 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day and Easter as the most offensive holidays, but Sonntag adds that they are "off the top of the list," implying that there may be others. She wrote that the ban was being implemented "in order to avoid offending someone else" because Sacramento State is "a secular university and we are a public service area that has a diverse employee and student populations [sic] even in our private offices."
