+514 Even though we're a public high school, we should be allowed to call it a Christmas tree, and not have to refer to it as a "holiday tree,", amirite?

Why can't you call it a Christmas tree? o.O

Cause admin thinks that everybody who doesn't celebrate xmas will be offended, but they're not

That's so ridiculous.

It's not so much people of the other December holidays , but the public school system that would think they would get offended

Then you should also have a Hanukkah menorah and anything else other religions have to celebrate.

I don't celebrate Ramadaan. It should be called something else, because the word 'Ramadaan' is so fucking offensive.

You know, I thought Christmas trees were specifically used by those who celebrate Christmas... Have things changed?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know, right? People can go celebrate Christmas in their own homes, or in Macy's or something if they don't have a tree at home. If a school wants to be festive, it can put up some snowflakes.

Call it whatever the fuck you want it's not like they can sue you.

As a Christian, I am deeply offended by Menorah. I think it should be referred to as a holiday candelabrum.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That's completely retarded. No other holiday or religion uses a tree, that's why it's called a Christmas tree. So what, are we going to call the menorah the "holiday candle holder?"

Just fucking keep the Christmas tree out of public school and we're good to go.

Christmas trees aren't a religious thing, it's just a part of Canadian culture. I say if you're offended, go somewhere else.

...Are you serious?

You have no idea how serious I am.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Nor do I really want to. I'll go with "s/he's a little serious" and say that Christmas isn't part of Canadian/American/Korean/New Zealand/whatever culture. It's Christian. Christianity knows no geographical bounds.

It's a tree. It has pagan roots. It's not of Christian heritage at all. And I'll bet you also think Santa is Christian? Nah.

Wow, I misunderstood that. I completely disregarded the "tree" part... Ahem. Nevermind. Sorry.

Or American culture, whichever.

I am personally offended by "whiteboard" seeing as how I'm white so we need to call it "The-Board-We-Write-On-With-Various-Colored-Markers"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

To be offended by that is like white supremacy. Blackboards, however, are very offensive.

My history teacher is Buddhist and he call it a Christmas tree.

My mom had a Jewish choral director, and he kept a "Hanukkah bush" in his office, and apparently it was covered in bagels.
