Colorado Town Wants To Ban Red And Green Lights


The town of Fort Collins, Colorado, and its Holiday Display Task Force are in the process of making their Christmas decorations more politically correct.

The task force plans to recommend that the city displays only include white lights, winter symbols that aren't linked with any particular holiday and other non-secular items.

Additionally, Christmas trees will no longer be permitted to be put up outside of public buildings or on public property. The city plans on voting on the recommendations on November 20th.

You heard it first here, political correctness is destroying America.

I think this is totally fair because I know that every time I see red or green lights my initial immediate reaction is, "Oh, those are Christian lights."

Then they shouldn't take the day off for Christmas and Thanksgiving since if they do this they are saying they are just like other days.

haha...notice the "LOL" in the subject line...

I seriously wonder how they came to the agreement that red and green signifies Christianity.

I wonder if making the lights 100% white is really the right PC thing to do. :thinking: Maybe pink and orange polka-dot lights would be better. :D

thats what i thought they meant by banning red and green lights....they should just have yellow/white traffic lights, it discriminates against the color blind people by having them different colors....everyone shoudl just memorize that the top light means stop and the bottom go...
