Since Surrendie has been rather bored as of late – it’s hard to find Democrat surrender stories since Iraq is going so well – he demanded coverage of this story. You will not be amused, but, you will not be shocked. It is something that we have become all to familiar with during the holiday season
For as long as anyone can remember, Christmas trees adorned with lights and ornaments have greeted holiday season visitors to UNC-Chapel Hill’s two main libraries.
They aren’t there this year.
The trees, which have stood in the lobby areas of Wilson and Davis libraries each December, were kept in storage this year at the behest of Sarah Michalak, the university’s associate provost for university libraries.
Michalak’s decision followed several years of queries and complaints from library employees and patrons bothered by the Christian display, Michalak said this week.
So, because a few people complained, ne’, whined like a 3 year old, everyone else must suffer.
“I don’t understand it,” said Belcher, a senior from Havelock and president of the university’s College Republicans. “We have Christmas as a federal holiday. If we’re going to remove the Christmas tree, do we have to remove that holiday?”
Good idea. I suggest Sarah Michalak and all others who complained be required to work on Christmas Day. Same goes for anyone else who complains. They should not get holiday pay, and should work just like it is any other day. Think they will complain if forced to work and have their holiday pay taken away?
A different library has no problem with any sort of Christmas display, even if it is a bit weird.
