When Did Universities Become Islands of Gross Ignorance?

I understand the importance of the atheist/agnostic pose for those of an insecure intellect, but if you think the colors red and green and depictions of wrapped presents are "religious iconography" , then you don't know the meaning of the word "iconography". Come to think of it, you don't know the meaning of the word "religious", either.

On The Coracle Puzzlewit Scale, you would be at Level Minnesota, which is second only to Level Yale.

University of Minnesota officials recently distributed documents to employees and student-workers advising them to keep “inappropriate religious celebrations” out of public spaces.The document, titled “Religious Diversity and the Holidays,” encouraged recipients “to recognize the holidays in ways that are respectful of the diversity of the University community.” It listed several specific examples of “religious iconography” the university says are inappropriate for display.
