More PC 'holiday' madness
This time it's the Saginaw, Mich. Dickens Christmas Festival.
From
Saginaw TV Station WNEM:
'Christ' Taken Out Of Christmas Festival
Tightening budgets have forced Mt. Pleasant to take Christ out of their Christmas.
The traditional Dickens Christmas Festival has been re-named the Dickens Holiday Festival so the city can advertise in local schools.
In order to get more bang for their buck out of a thinning advertisement budget, the organization wants to put fliers in schools. For that to happen, the word �Christmas� had to be removed.
And the public reaction?
Downtown Development Coordinator Michelle Sponseller said many people are unhappy with the change.
�We changed the name this year for the schools because we wanted to advertise in the school brochures and the schools have a list of words you can�t use like Santa, Christmas and Nativity. So did a brochure for the schools and we took those words out.�
Sponseller said they made a brochure for the public with word Christmas is still in it.
I just hope these people remember the next time the school board comes up for election. Idiocy!
