An update from the war on Christmas
Missouri State reverses decision to remove Christmas tree
The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD | Missouri State University has reversed a decision to take down a 20-foot Christmas tree and will instead reinstall it along with symbols from other religions, the university said today.

The tree had been removed from Strong Hall on the university’s campus on Monday, after a Jewish faculty member complained that it showed a “lack of sensitivity” to other religions.

But the tree will be reinstalled along with symbols from other religions. University spokesman Don Hendricks said decisions about which symbols from other religions will be displayed were still being discussed today.

A meeting to discuss the situation, which had been scheduled for Friday, was canceled.

1. Actually, how in the hell did Christians end up with all the green stuff --- and Jewish people, the
blue stuff ---

Jewish people can't even have pointsettias --- !!!

Divisions of nature as well as religions --- '



The Christians have to give back the trees --- they can keep the ornaments ---

And the wreaths --- they can keep the junk stuff like candy canes ---

though I don't see how they're Christian????

2. So, which religions will get the endorsement of the state?
Will they get equal time and space?
