I am up to here with Political correctness!!

In my old primary school they no longer have Christmas, instead its 'Winter Festival' because they don't want to offend anyone..

This is the nonsense that I am on about, it must be deliberately done to incite religious hatred and cause disharmony because anyone with common sense would know there is nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas.

To be honest I'm not so fussed because a lot of the kids were foreign and wouldn't of celebrated Christmas, but what I do worry about is by doing things like that doesn't help intergrate people of other cultures or races into English culture and encourages segregation. Its too accomidating to the point of having an adverse effect.

That could be seen as biased for a certain culture if a guy can take off his required uniform for a santa's outfit, then why not an Easter Bunny outfit next holiday?

When I took the bus to highschool there was a driver who looked the part. Real beard, But he wore his uniform, just added the Santa hat & gave lollipops to kids.
His honest action to try to make people happy caused adverse reaction when a black driver was chided for wearing dashiki during Kwanza. (whites complained about him to the County bus system) He demanded his culture be accepted as well or none at all.

White Milwaukeans were pissed.

The right wing talk radio denounced everybody else's cultural holidays & countered by going into the history of the person who began Kwanza called them nasty things.
Minorities, to non christians & some churches (mixed races) countered and went on about the origin of Santa, & compared him to the Pagan god, Thor. Shit went sideways real quick!

Some churches turned against each other- saying it's the liberals fault, they don't want Jesus to be acknowledged. << That was countered by minority churches asking- why isn't Jesus in the shopping malls telling kids if they're good or bad? Its a day for merchants, selling, drinking in Jesus' name.
A local TV channel did a segment devoted to how many crimes were committed during Christmas & blamed it on the christians who promte Santa over Jesus.

All this stemmed from a guy who wore a Santa hat (real beard) while driving city bus hollering at each stop HO! HO! HO!

I don't see a big problem with this bus driver incident. A uniform instantly indicates the job being done. How could you possibly know the bus driver is the actual bus driver if he is dressed as father christmas? The bus could have been hijacked or something. Just saying. It's possible

In this day and age, totally possible
