Can’t say “Christmas” at NY’s PS 169

School principal bans Santa, Thanksgiving and Pledge of Allegiance

by Susan Edelman

Santa Claus is banned. The Pledge of Allegiance is no longer recited. “Harvest festival” has replaced Thanksgiving, and “winter celebrations” substitute for Christmas parties.

New principal Eujin Jaela Kim has given PS 169 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, a politically correct scrub-down, to the dismay of teachers and parents.

“We definitely can’t say Christmas, nothing with Christmas on it, nothing with Santa,” PTA president Mimi Ferrer said administrators told her. “No angels. We can’t even have a star because it can represent a religious system, like the Star of David.”

But here’s the caveat.

Whereas before there was none, now there is the beginning of some actual pushback to political correctness.

Like it or not, I attribute that to one man: Donald Trump.

Absent the recent conduct of Mr Trump in response to the manner in which he is conducting his campaign and the focus he has brought to particular issues, I suspect the backlash to such politically correct behavior would not be building, much less being named.

And yes, there is pushback to Principal Kim’s position.

For that, I thank Donald Trump.

California bans “Redskins”

Posted on by

California Thought Police-ALet the navel-gazing continue unabated.

Nope, can’t use that name, wouldn’t be prudent.  Might offend actual humans with what persons call red skins.  Though Caucasoids appear to have white skins, asians something of yellow skins and blacks black skin.  What a shock.

From SacBee.com:

California bans use of ‘Redskins’ as school mascot or team name

by David Siders

Amid national debate about the use of a term many critics call outdated and offensive, Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday signed legislation banning the use of “Redskins” as a school mascot or team name.

The “Redskins” bill’s enactment comes 11 years after then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed similar legislation. Brown signed the bill without comment.

In the meantime, however, businesses continue to flee Fornicalia, Fornicalia continues to embrace illegal invaders and Sanctuary Cities though those illegal citizens keep racking up the body points, fires ravage the state because state regulations have disallowed the harvesting of downed or dead trees and the deadfall is truly frightening, and there are no plans in place to buttress and support Fornicalia’s water system as our drought worsens.  And just like the federal government, Fornicalia politicians seem to think cash to pay for their pink ponies and unicorns appears out of thin air.  Translated: the people left in Fornicalia who actually pay taxes.

That Redskin naming thingie, that’s so terribly important.  Deck chairs, anyone?  The blue one goes right over there.  Look; it’s got Jerry’s name right on the back.

Oh, how this state does so very much deserve to crash.

You Leftist swine.

“Sensitive” indians leave film set

From BreitbartNews.com:

‘If You’re So Sensitive, Leave’: American Indian Actors Told to Exit Adam Sandler Comedy

by John Nolte

Offended by satire, incorrect costuming, and inappropriate feather placement, a group of about a dozen American Indian actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler comedy Wednesday, according to a report in Indian Country. Apparently, the actors were shocked to learn that Indians would not be inoculated from satire in the “Ridiculous Six” Western spoof, and that a comedy film wasn’t terribly interested in historical accuracy.

Things came to a head when one of the producers told one of the actors, “If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave.” [emphasis added]

There you have it.  American indian actors upset because feather placement was incorrect and costuming wasn’t accurate.

Apparently they failed to recognize that the production was a comedy.

Note to American indian actors: you can readily be replaced with additional unauthentic feathers as well as unauthentic actors.

Second note to American indian actors: you can take your sensitivity and go home.  There is no law requiring you to be paid for a movie or for the film to be technically precise.  It’s an Adam Sandler comedy, you anal-retentives.  Loosen up.

Third note to the producers who stood on their own two hind legs: thank you kindly for having actual testicles.

And no, I’m not sorry for having written the word testicles.

DC Muslims say: removing Christmas from the calendar isn’t enough

Posted on by

Muslim Eid Removal of ChristmasBecause, after all, we certainly can’t be perceived to offend the persons who, in the name of Islam, killed 3,000 Americans and turned them into burning jelly by running aircraft into two large buildings on September 11th of 2001 — can we?

From EAGNews.org:

Suburban DC school district takes Christmas off calender after Muslims complain

by Kyle Olson

ROCKVILLE, Md. – Christmas is now just December 25th in the Montgomery County school district.

The suburban DC district stripped Christmas and Jewish holy holidays from its official calendar after Muslim parents complained.

But that’s not good enough as they say the move does “nothing to gain parity and a day off for the Muslim holiday of Eid,” according to WTOP.

“Equality is really what we’re looking for,” Saqib Ali, co-chair of Equality for Eid, says. “Simply saying we’re not going to call this Christmas, and we’re not going to call this Yom Kippur, and still closing the schools, that’s not equality.”

Equality is what they — Muslims — are looking for.  Just a little equality.  What’s wrong with that?  Take it away, GOWPs:

But school board member Michael Durso says unless the Muslim’s complaints aren’t addressed, “it comes off as insensitive, and I just think we cannot afford to be in that light.”

Except: removing Christmas isn’t enough.  The Muslims want more.  They want Eid recognized.  And Christmas removed.

The Washington Post reports the board 7-1 to stop recognizing the Christian and Jewish holidays.

“This seems the most equitable option,” said board member Rebecca Smondrowski, who proposed the idea, according to the paper.

Coming soon to a school district near you.

Buh-bye Christmas.  I knew ya when.  .  .

LGBT: only 3% of population according to CDC

Posted on by

It wasn’t long ago that myself and other officers had to attend a mandatory training session involving a presentation made by the LGBT “community.”  At the time, information was presented by the instructors that at least 10- to 15% of the country was gay.

New information from the CDC now disputes that, indicating the real percentage is slightly less than 3%.  From Breitbart.com:

CDC: Nation’s Percentage of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals Less than Supposed

by William Bigelow

The Washington Post reports that a highly definitive study from 2013 has pegged the size of the gay population in the United States at far less than has sometimes been estimated. 

The National Health Interview Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is the federal government’s most relied upon estimate of the nation’s health and behaviors, found that fewer than 3% of respondents self-identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Only 1.6% of respondents self-identified as gay or lesbian, and even less, 0.7%, self-identified as bisexual.

The estimate of the percentage of bisexuals was lower than the 2008 General Social Survey, which estimated that number at 1.1 percent, while other surveys have intimated that the percentage of bisexuals is the same as gays.

Conversely, 96.6% self-identified as straight, while 1.1% answered, “I don’t know the answer” or stated they were “something else.”

So let me get this “straight,” if I might: we’re bending over backwards societally for 3% of the population with the entire LGBT “community” taken together?

Yes we are.  Political correctness rules the day and the United States.

The tail wags the dog.
