UNC Christmas Tree Ban
Nice to see North Carolina catching up with Oregon:

It was the eight years ago here that the city manager of Eugene Oregon banned Christmas Trees from all public places. The tinsel hit the fan and it hasn't happened since.

That is in Chapel Hill, where the largest concentration of liberals in NC reside.
For political correctness, consider that the NC State Library, in Raleigh, is named for the son of Confederate Lieutenant General Daniel Harvey Hill.

Every state has it's liberal city or town.....Colorado has The People's Republic of Boulder, New Jersey (where I now live) well, the entire damn state is a People's Republic....and home, N.C., well we've got the People's Republic of Chapel Hill. The reason it's in the center of the state is so we can keep them surrounded!

Michalak, chief librarian for four years, said at least a dozen library employees have complained over the last few years about the display. She hasn't heard similar criticism from students, though they may have voiced concerns to other library staff.

That says it all, She was the head librarian turned provost. She can now carry out Her agenda. A dozen librarians whining, no students whining, we see who has the time to waste. Maybe the librarians should take their own advice;
"Shhhhhhhhhhh"

I have spent many a night in that library back in my school days and I did not know for whom it was named. Thank you for the brief history lesson sir.
