Holy crap, the PC Police are even alive and well in Texas!
Don't wear red or green, don't even SAY the word "Christmas" at the "winter" party!
Watch what you say AND wear. After all, this is America.
Somebody please tell me this is a hoax.
Texas school bans word 'Christmas', trees and colours red and green from its festive party - Mirror Online
A Texas school has caused controversy by organising a festive party where trees, the colours red and green and the word 'Christmas' are all banned.
A PTA member at Gene and Ruby Nichols Elementary School in Frisco started the controversy by sending out rules to what they described as a winter party".
"No reference to Christmas or any other religious holiday; no red or green - or Christmas trees; nothing that will stain the carpet," the email read.
Texas state representative Pat Fallon was made aware of the email by an angry parent and took to the airwaves.
He said: Were celebrating Christmas, so why cant it be a Christmas party or maybe a holiday party?
"But they skipped over holiday and went to winter. Thats, you know, political correctness gone too far.
Fallon said he had spoken to Frisco Independent School District Superintendent Jeremy Lyon, and was told the rules are not district policy and the email had been unauthorised.
He was also told by the PTA that kids could indeed say Merry Christmas.
However, Fallon then got another email saying the PTA was going to keep the rules, because they didnt want to offend any families and since each family donates money they feel this is the best policy.
