Florida: University Bans Santa, all Christmas Decorations From Campus.....

Academia is a cesspool of PC douchebaggery.....

Christmas is just 30 days away, but Santa Claus won't be stopping by Florida Gulf Coast University this holiday.

He's not allowed on campus.

FGCU administration has banned all holiday decorations from common spaces on campus and canceled a popular greeting card design contest, which is being replaced by an ugly sweater competition. In Griffin Hall, the university's giving tree for needy preschoolers has been transformed into a "giving garden."

The moves boil down to political correctness.

"Public institutions, including FGCU, often struggle with how best to observe the season in ways that honor and respect all traditions," President Wilson Bradshaw wrote in a memo to faculty and staff Thursday. "This is a challenging issue each year at FGCU, and 2008 is no exception. While it may appear at times that a vocal majority of opinion is the only view that is held, this is not always the case."

* Florida Gulf Coast University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution. (from its web site)

But some are more equal than others.

Every damned year we get more and more stories like this one. By the end of this century all things Christmas will be nothing but a legend thanks to cancerous PC, which, like the Blob, consumes all. I'm not much of a Christmas person but I sure am sick of this relentless campaign to exterminate it.

Why does promoting multiculturalism and diversity always have to be at the expense of only Christians?

This holiday season, Christmas will be replaced by Muslim foot baths at a university near you.
