Merry Christmas! | Eastern North Carolina Now

In his new video "Just Say 'Merry Christmas,'" Dennis Prager argues that efforts to replace "Merry Christmas" with "Happy Holidays" are misguided. In the name of "inclusivity," he says, we are excluding the roughly 90 percent of Americans who celebrate Christmas

    Publisher's note: The John William Pope Center for Education Policy provides a treasure trove of information suggesting the better path forward in regards to North Carolina's number one issue - public education. Public education, at all levels, requires a significant amount of funding from our state government, and all one hundred North Carolina counties, so it is essential that leaders effecting education policy get it right, and know that concerned entities, like the John William Pope Center, will be minding their progress to do so. We welcome the John William Pope Center for Education Policy to our growing readership, and expect our readers to learn all they can to do their part in this wise endeavor to better educate our People.

    In his new video "Just Say 'Merry Christmas,'" Dennis Prager argues that efforts to replace "Merry Christmas" with "Happy Holidays" are misguided. In the name of "inclusivity," he says, we are excluding the roughly 90 percent of Americans who celebrate Christmas.

    Such inclusivity efforts go back many years. In 2008, for example, the Pope Center reported on UNC-Chapel Hill's decision to remove Christmas trees from its library.

    The university's associate provost for libraries had argued that a library should be a place to provide information "without judgment." She explained in an interview that "Displaying Christian symbols is antithetical to that philosophy."

    Lately, that philosophy has been taken to absurd extremes. Campus Reform recently documented an example at Texas Woman's University:

  • [The University] is offering tips for an "all-inclusive, multicultural" Christmas season, warning that the word "holiday" is no longer inclusive enough and advising that office parties should instead be called "end of semester parties."

    And last year, Cornell University made the news after advising students that trees decorated with "snowflakes or other non-religious symbols" were in line with its diversity mission, but that nativity scenes, angels, mistletoe, and Menorahs were not.

    Prager's new video asserts that these cases are part of a larger effort to transform the U.S into a secular society. Watch the video below and decide for yourself.
