HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, WAR ON CHRISTMAS EDITION: ‘Bows’ and ‘wrapped gifts’ now offensive on campus.

An academic department at the University of Minnesota declared that “bows/wrapped gifts” are “not appropriate for gatherings and displays at this time of year.”

According a copy of the guidelines obtained by Campus Reform, UMN’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) encouraged its employees “to recognize holidays in ways that are respectful of the diversity of our community,” recommending a series of steps to take.

“Consider neutral-themed parties such as ‘winter celebration,’” the flyer suggests, adding that “decorations, music, and food should be general and not specific to any one religion.”

I believe Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden are still allowed.
