Liberal Alert: another school cancels Halloween

Another liberal school principal is taking the fun out of childrens' lives in a fetid attempt to please absolutely everybody (story here). Somebody needs to tell these people that "tolerance" is being taken to insane proportions.

As always, The Shaved Ape has the solution to this liberal problem: Blobby, the inoffensive shape. He has no gender, religion, or color! He's the only mascot a liberal can accept.

Muslim appeasement: Christmas and Halloween cancelled at Illinois schools

Yep, you heard it right. I think when Muslims cancel suicide bombings and the deliberate targeting of civilians, especially children, for murder, then we can consider cutting back on our own traditions. Chicago Sun-Times:

So long, Halloween parade. Farewell, Santa's gift shop.

The holiday traditions are facing elimination in some Oak Lawn schools this year after complaints that the activities are offensive, particularly to Muslim students.

Final decisions on which of the festivities will be axed will fall to the principals at each of Ridgeland School District 122's five schools, Supt. Tom Smyth said.

I have a solution which will make everyone happy. Uh, wait a second. It won't make anyone unhappy, which is the liberal goal here. Instead of Halloween and Christmas decorations, pictures of Blobby can be hung around the schools. He's neutral in color and gender, religion and ideology -- he's the ultimate (and only) inoffensive character in the world!

Liberals ban the Easter bunny

ABC News:

A Rhode Island public school has decided the Easter bunny is too Christian and renamed him Peter Rabbit, and a state legislator is so hopping mad he has introduced an "Easter Bunny Act" to save the bunny's good name.

"Like many Rhode Islanders I'm quite frustrated … by people trying to change traditions that we've held in this country for 150 years, like the Easter bunny," Rhode Island State Rep. Richard Singleton told "Good Morning America Weekend Edition."

This is a job for Blobby, the only mascot that liberals can tolerate. He's neutral in religion, color, gender, and shape, and he makes no noise. Best of all, school children love are not offended by the Easter Blobby!

Cross restored at College of William and Mary

The college removed a cross from the campus chapel after receiving complaints. Fox News:

A compromise announced today will permanently return a brass cross to the chapel at the College of William and Mary in a prominent display rather than its previous altar post.

The compromise was offered as a recommendation by a panel comprising alumni, students and others formed by President Gene Nichol in response to outcry created by his decision to remove the cross.

"This has been a challenging task for the committee, but it has produced a compromise that allows for permanent display of the cross in the chapel, while remaining welcoming to all," Nichols told the Associated Press.

O'Reilly had a college alumnus on his show Tuesday evening who used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain complaints about the cross. There was only one complaint! The college removed a cross from its chapel because of A SINGLE COMPLAINT.

This is a job for Blobby! Neutral in color, shape, gender and religious affiliation, he's the only religious symbol incapable of offending anyone. Blobby is "welcoming to all."

Indian mascot dropped by U. of Illinois

AP is reporting that the University of Illinois has caved in to liberalism (sometimes incorrectly called political correctness). The U's Indian mascot was ditched because a tiny minority of people were offended.

This is a job for Blobby, the only mascot who won't offend anyone. It is neutral gray, shapeless, genderless, and doesn't represent any culture, political ideology, or religion. Best of all, it roots for both teams, because even losers are winners -- by achieving deferred success. Go Blobby!

A left-wing Christmas card

Pub Philosopher has posted an excellent Christmas card. It adequately demonstrates how multiculturalists (we call them liberals in the U.S.) think, especially around Christmas time.

Go here for the card.

Liberals should consult Blobby, the completely inoffensive blob of gray matter, to see if he'll fill in for Santa.

No Christmas trees at Seattle airport

All the Christmas trees are being removed from the Seattle airport after a Rabbi complained. Rather than tell the good Rabbi to shut his knish hole, the trees are being removed.

From K5news, via Drudge; emphasis added:

---

Sea-Tac public affairs manager Terri-Ann Betancourt said the trees that adorn the Sea-Tac upper and lower levels may not properly represent all cultures.

---

Since some South American tribes are cannibals, I expect Ms. Betancourt to adequately represent them next year. And she'll need to erect a gruesome suicide bombing display to appease Palestinian-Americans, too. Jews will need to be dismembered, lying around in pools of blood.

No, that's probably not a good idea. When liberals get trapped by their own inventions, political correctness and multiculturism, there is only one safe course of action. Blobby. He's neutral gray, silent, sits very still, and is without form or gender. When you can't please absolutely everyone (which liberals can't understand is impossible and unnecessary), call in Blobby.
