Father Christmas has been dragged into the culture wars after a museum declared the festive icon and should stop sitting in judgment over children's behaviour.

In a startling intervention ahead of Christmas, Brighton and Hove Museums argued Father Christmas must be 'decolonised' in the name of diversity, claiming his traditional role reinforces damaging ideas about power, authority and Western superiority.

The claims appeared in a blog post published on the museum's website, which suggested Santa's familiar naughty-and-nice routine promotes a 'Western binary' and casts the bearded gift-giver as a global moral judge.

'For many children, the story of Santa Claus is as much a part of Christmas as gifts and Christmas dinner,' the post said.

'But the tale of a white, Western Santa who judges all children's behaviour has problems.'

Museum chiefs went further, questioning Santa's right to assess children across different cultures and traditions.

'As he visits each nation he determines if the children deserve presents based on being 'naughty' or 'nice',' the blog added.

'But who decided Santa should be the judge of children's behaviour in every community? How can he assess, for example, Indigenous children practising their own cultural traditions?

Comment:
I do not believe that anyone is being forced to participate in Christmas traditions.
If a Woke Bigot doesn't like the Christmas Santa tradition he should just ignore it.
This is just more Left Wing cultural intolerance.
They claim to be the victims of prejudice, while they want to erase western civilization.

Ask yourself this question: How many colored folks are you going to find in some god-forsaken frozen wasteland like the North Pole?

I saw a few in John Carpenter's 'The Thing' w/Kurt Russel!

Plus a few other folks there I wasn't sure what the hell they were.

They're called Inuit and they aren't white.

Santa Claus evolved in northern Europe, where sunlight is precious and skin is pale. Excess pigment blocks vitamin D production. Most of the US population is evolving towards darker skin for more sunlight. Santa Claus could eventually look darker here, if we keep the concept. Future generations might drop the whole Christmas package and start a new solstice holiday.

Santa Claus is a mixture of Nikolaus and Wodan.

Their obsession with Tools presumably contains a touch of self description -- only a Tool makes a good Tool .
